Cosmo Pyke (that’s his real name) is an 18-year-old songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Peckham. Raised on a diet of blues, jazz, hip hop, and neo-soul, he writes warm, lo-fi songs that he describes as “spacey, beautiful, and lazy”. His songs draw less on other music and more on his everyday experiences growing up in south east London: reading books, going to pubs, playing football, and other simple pleasures in life.
Besides being a musician, Pyke is also a skater and spraypaint artist as well as a model. He was profiled on Dazed earlier this year, and also made an appearance in Frank Ocean’s “Nikes” video. “I’ve become a lot more clued up about fashion this year,” he says, “It’s definitely given content to write about. Whether it’s been positive or negative, it’s all about the moments.”
Pyke’s newest release is “Social Sites”, a song about an ex-girlfriend and social media’s role in a relationship. Its video fits the laidback vibe of the song, shot in his home borough and the surrounding areas, as well as in his grandmother’s house. There’s a retro feel to the video, seen in the 70s wallpaper that lines the walls and the analogue film stock used to capture the footage. The track features on Pyke’s forthcoming debut EP.
