Hollie Cook

Hollie Cook, born in London in 1987, is a British singer and keyboardist known for her work in reggae and pop music. Growing up with musician Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols as her father, music was an integral part of her life.

After initially pursuing acting, singing, and modeling at a young age, Cook pivoted towards a musical career, finding her path more aligned with her influences than her formal performing arts education. A significant early opportunity arose when family friend Ari Up, the singer of The Slits, invited Cook to provide backing vocals for the EP "Revenge of the Killer Slits." This experience led Cook to leave her studies and join the band for a six-week tour. She became an official member, with Up referring to her as the "second singer." Cook's contributions, including vocals, keyboards, and the song "Cry," were featured on a subsequent Slits album recorded in Los Angeles.
