Graham Coxon

Graham Leslie Coxon: Born March 12th 1969, in a military hospital in Rinteln, Germany. Graham studied fine art at Goldsmiths College in the late 1980s, It was around the same time that Graham with fellow Goldsmiths student Alex James and old school friend Damon Albarn, formed a band called Seymour, who later changed their name and went on to become one of the top selling British bands of all time Blur.



Graham was a member of Blur from 1989 to 2002 and his highly original and inventive style of musicianship helped establish Blur as one of the most influential British bands of the last decade. Blur were the dominating force behind the Britpop movement of the mid-1990s and have sold millions of albums worldwide.



Still regarded by many in the industry as one of the best guitarists of his generation, Coxon left blur in 2002 to concentrate full time on a solo career to much critical acclaim. Graham set up his own record label Transcopic in 1998 for the release of "The Sky Is Too High" his first solo album, seven years on, Graham has now released 5 studio albums. In addition to guitar, Coxon also plays every instrument himself during album recording sessions and sings all lead vocals.



Despite pursuing a hugely successful music career Coxon has remained an artist in his own right, most notably designing record sleeves for Blur, all his own solo material and one-off pieces for charity auctions.
