Greg Cooper is a singer and songwriter from Sydney, now based in Melbourne. With an equal love for both classical music and the singer/songwriter tradition, Greg is endlessly drawn to the pairing of melodies and lyrics as a vehicle for making sense of the world – or at least trying to. Greg’s own songs search for beauty and gratitude in everyday moments.

His debut solo album – The Four Day Weeks of April – was released in 2008, with numerous EPs and full album HEAL following since. His most recent EP - South of the River - is a collection of songs pursuing hope in the struggle of the pandemic years. Ever-inspired by the community that music brings together, Greg is grateful to have worked with esteemed Australian producers David Nicholas, Shane Nicholson, Sean Carey, Michael Carpenter, and Matt Fell across these recordings.

As a songwriter, Greg’s compositions include congregational church songs with Emu Music, Voyage, and many years in Sydney worship band Garage Hymnal. He has also served as a music pastor in churches in Sydney and Melbourne.

With a heart for social justice, Greg has previously worked in refugee law and with Compassion Australia. He holds degrees in arts, law, and theology, and is currently undertaking further research on the significance of singing in the life of the church.  

Through it all, Greg’s songs seek to offer hope, comfort, and inspiration for the life journey we all share.
