Graham Coxon Career

Music career

Coxon studied Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London, where he met bassist Alex James early on. Damien Hirst, Michael Landy, Sam Taylor-Wood, and Abigail Lane, four of the future leading lights of the British art movement, mingled with promising talents during his time there. He left college due to the increasing success of his band, Seymour, which later changed its name to Blur, because the recording company, Food Records, felt Seymour was too'student-ish.' They gave a rundown of their top names, which included "The Shining Path" and "Blur." Coxon's lo-fi, experimental musical style, and occasional drums influenced the band's less commercial music in the late 1990s, as well as providing all guitars, backing vocals, and occasional drums. On "Red Necks," "You're So Good" from the album Blur and "Coffee & TV), as well as a portion of "Tender" and a portion of "Thought I Was a Spaceman" on The Magic Whip, he performed lead vocals.

Coxon became more ill and suspicious of the music market during the 1995 period of the media-dubbed the 'Battle of Britpop.' His behavior was occasionally traumatic, including refusing to appear in the Blur song "Country House" video unless he could dress as a milkman and not participate in any activity with which he was uncomfortable.

In November 2001, Coxon was admitted to the Priory Hospital for 28 days to be treated for alcoholism. Blur began recording sessions that would produce the information for their forthcoming album, Think Tank, during this period. In February 2002, Coxon rejoined the band for the remainder of the album, but then-manager Chris Morrison asked that the band not to return to the studio because the other members of the band had claimed that the session was not going to go well with him present. Coxon took this as a warning and left the band as a result. "I had a breakthrough, I think my life just became quieter," he said in a 2006 interview. When I had a teenage daughter, my priorities changed. I didn't want to film for the Think Tank album, so I took it as a sign to leave." "Battery in Your Leg," Blur's closing song on Blur's 2003 album Think Tank, was his last contribution to Blur, before he left the line-up. After seeing a photograph of Coxon, Damon Albarn later revealed that the song "Sweet Song" was written.

Blur announced that the entire band will reunite for a show at Hyde Park on July 3, 2009, following Damon Albarn's admission that he and Coxon had rekindled their friendship on December 9th. More dates were confirmed and the band appeared at Glastonbury, T in the Park and Oxegen 2009 festival as well as headlining shows in Manchester, Newcastle, Wolverhampton, Goldsmith's College, and the East Anglian Railway Museum in Colchester. Blur also appeared in Lyon, France, at one show.

The band's first single since 2003, "Fool's Day," was released as a 7" limited to 1000 copies on April 17, 2010. The band announced the single as a free download on their official website the next day. Blur has revealed that they would reunite every so often and produce more singles, preferably on 7 inches, as shown on the NME website. However, Damon said that an album was not on its way because they were all too occupied with their own personal projects.

Coxon and the band announced on social media on February 19th that they would debut their eighth studio album, titled The Magic Whip, Blur's first album in 16 years and first in 16 years in their original lineup.

When a member of Blur before his 2002 departure, Coxon had already released three solo albums. In 1998, Sky Is Too High, his first novel, was released on his own Transcopic label. The Golden Dwarf in 2000 and Crow Sit on Blood Tree in 2001 followed this. In 2002, he published The Kiss of Morning after going solo full-time. The album was released with the song "Escape Song." Coxon's fifth solo album Happiness in Magazines, produced by ex-Blur and The Smiths producer Stephen Street, debuted in 2004. This was his most commercial album to date, and he received the NME Award for Best Solo Artist in 2005.

He released Love Travels at Illegal Speeds, his sixth solo album, and Stephen Street's sixth solo album was released in March 2006. It was Coxon's first album away from his now defunct indie label 'Transcopic.' The LP was preceded by the singles "Standing on My Own Again" and "You & I" on February 27th. Coxon embarked on a tour of the United Kingdom, beginning at Newcastle University. At the 2006 FIFA World Cup, he was also involved in a single assisting the England national football team. "Sham 69 and The Special Assembly" was released, as well as Coxon and Sham 69, Virgin Radio DJ Christian O'Connell, who had competed to find a band to record a song in favor of the team, was involved in the production of the album). "Hurry Up England" debuted at No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart, ranked no. 83. 10.

Burnt to Bitz, Coxon's first live album on DVD in October 2006, At the Astoria immediately after his sold-out London Astoria show.

In the UK Singles Chart, 39 are ranked 39th.

The Spinning Top, Coxon's seventh 15-track studio album, was released on May 9, 2009. The LP, which is primarily acoustic, follows a storyline, Coxon said, following a tale about a man from birth to death. "The album is primarily an acoustic journey, but there is also some ferocious electric guitar playing," he explained.

"There are some guests too!

Robyn Hitchcock provides some counter-attack guitar, Jas Singh plays dilruba and jori with his pal Gurjit Sembhi, and Jas Singh plays dilruba and jori on taus, while Jas Singh plays esraj and Jaskase Singh on taus, and Jas Singh plays dilruba and jori. Danny Thompson plays the legendary Victoria, Graham Fox gives plenty of swing on the drums and sizzle cymbals, while Louis Vause tinkles the ivories." The pre-release reaction had been encouraging, with Field of Frank Booth Review describing the album as "a major artistic feat and Coxon's best solo debut to date" on Monday.

In April 2012, his eighth solo album A+E was released.

Coxon narrated and narrated the score for the 2017 Channel 4/ Netflix television series The End of the F***ing World; it was his first original score. In January 2018, the soundtrack was released. Coxon embarked on a solo tour in North America in September that included some of the songs from his score.

In February 2020, Coxon announced an album for the fictional band Bloodwitch, which also stars singer Tatyana Richaud and his partner Essy Syed in the vocals.

Coxon's independent label, Transcopic, was co-managed by his brother and later business partner, Jamie Davis. Davis now operates under the name Ark Recordings. For the unveiling of The Spinning Top, Coxon illustrated and produced all of his own album art, as well as his buddy Nick Craske, who created abstract digital art; they also produced two music videos, "Sorrow's Army" and "In The Morning." Coxon also started painting a series of personal works, the bulk of which went unseen until 2004, when he first exhibited at the ICA in London.

Coxon has also been involved in remixing other people's songs, including Idlewild and Lowgold, both of which were released as b-sides, and the latter remix was later re-released on the bands anthology album Keep Music Miserable.

Coxon opened "english shoes squeek" in September 2006, a musical soundscape created specifically for artist Julie Verhoeven's exhibition at London's Riflemaker Gallery of artist Julie Verhoeven's work.

Coxon appeared on John McCusker's Under One Sky, a musical version of "All Has Gone."

Coxon was instrumental in the creation of Pete Doherty's solo album Grace/Wastelands in 2009. Doherty had gone through sobriety, when he joined Coxon to work on his debut solo album, Grace/Wasteland, (launched 24 March 9, 2009) a diverse collection of 12 songs that bounce between reggae and Doherty's standard post-punk. Coxon appeared on only one track on the album.

From his Transcopic label, Coxon has also released albums by Mower and Assembly Line People Programme.
