Release Notes:
Hollie Cook was born and bred in West London in a household dominated by music.
She gravitated to the sounds of Marc Bolan, David Bowie and The Cure. With Sex
Pistol Paul Cook as her dad, music was always around.
Entering professional acting, singing and modelling at a young age; Hollie soon
rejected her performance arts schooling for a musical path truer to her
influences. Family friend and Slits singer Ari Up persuaded Hollie to sing
backing vocals for a new EP Revenge Of The Killer Slits, which she followed by
ditching school to join the band on a six week tour. Hollie was now an official
Slit û Ari referred to Hollie as the æsecond singerÆ û so when it came to record
a new Slits album in LA, HollieÆs vocals, keyboards and even her song Cry all
featured.
More collaborations followed: a duet with Jamie T on his Chaka Demus EP, with
Ian Brown on The World Is Yours, and most significantly as featured vocalist on
Mike Pellanconi/Prince FattyÆs underground reggae hit æMilk and HoneyÆ. The
single received airplay across BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, XFM, Kiss and even ended up
on GreyÆs Anatomy. Hollie jumped at the chance to get in the studio with Mike as
she was smitten by the tracks she had heard. HollieÆs passion for reggae singers
Janet Kay and Phyllis Dillon combined with classic 60s girl groups formed the
basis for her new solo work of self coined tropical pop. The two have recently
been locked in the studio recording her self-titled debut album scheduled for
release on Mr Bongo Records in May 2011.
Hollie is currently lending her skills to The Rotten Hill Gang, a fluid crew set
up by Gary Stonadge from Big Audio Dynamite II, who are on tour with a reformed
Big Audio Dynamite in April.
