I discovered SoundCloud early on after attending the Creative Commons Summit, where I saw its potential for independent artists. Over the years, I’ve watched the shift from music to gaming, where esports players now earn hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money, while most musicians are forced to become teachers to survive.

Recently, a gamer who has made $781,000 from competitive gaming reached out to buy my three-letter SoundCloud ID: “jam”. But this username represents more than just a handle—it’s a piece of my music journey, and I’m not selling it.

Instead of giving in to this trend, I’m embracing AI-generated music and using SoundCloud as a space to explore new creative possibilities. If you’re here, I hope you listen, explore, and stay connected—because music still matters.

Not many rappers can boast that their first ever live performance was at London’s O2 Arena, supporting hip hop legend, Nas. Such was the talent of Jordan Cooper, aka Coops, who at 23-years-old won Choice FM’s Breakthrough Competition, and the chance to perform alongside one of his formative influences. “I want to be inspired by the greats, rather than what’s current,” the North Londoner explains, citing Jay Z, A Tribe Called Quest and Eminem as other major inspirations. 
Throughout his late teens Coops was making music with his friends, but it wasn’t until he looked at himself and the world around him that he changed his writing approach and decided to go it alone. “I’ve always had the mind-set that if I’m true to myself and where I am, as a social commentator or looking inside myself documenting that stage of my life, then I’ll have endless material.”
