THE MAN
Denzel Himself (he/him) aka The Goth Cowboy is a multi-disciplinary musician and creative and one of the faces of our Gothic Americana collection. An artist who takes creative control over all his art from writing to the music, production, video direction and styling. Articulate, considered and subversive, Denzel is forging his own path through music. With a sound that combines elements of rap, jazz, hardcore punk, noise rock and RnB inflections. He refuses simple categorisation.
THE ATTITUDE
“I’ve always been drawn towards things that have a certain level of irreverence. Not like an attention seeking but a genuine yearning and lust to not be told what to do. I identified with that on a huge emotional level when I was younger and still to this day. When I first came across the hardcore punk world it felt like home. I just think there's something so beautiful about having no ceilings or having no one saying you're doing too much or don't do this thing.”
“This is where we purge all of that negativity out so that we can sustain our wellbeing. That's what the violence and the aggression is about. It’s a rigorous motion to better yourself, it's cathartic."
“
I have a very particular vision for who and what I am as an artist and so I’m the one to bring it to life
”
THE INFLUENCES
“I would say my 3 primary musical influences are J Dilla, Tyler the Creator and Kurt Cobain. I would say that trifecta’s work, minds and approach inform almost everything that I do as an artist. The through line of all the people I'm influenced by is that they're true. They're not always gonna be perfect, they're not necessarily the most popular people in the world but every single one of them is true.”
“I understand what I do and the way I do it is not gonna be to everyone's taste but anyone who interacts with of my work can say, ‘this person means it’. That level of transparency and conviction is everything to me because that's my artistic integrity.”
