Cooper Phillip Thanks Heartbreaks In New Stunning Video

By  | 

Russian born, Los Angeles based pop-soul artist Cooper Phillip succeeds in capturing the undivided attention of listeners across the globe with her intense drive, soaring vocals, and passionate songwriting. The artist just released the stunning new visuals for her latest single “Thank You Heartbreak”, which narrates the need to be grateful for the hardest times in your life, because it only makes you stronger. 

Phillip’s music has an underlying theme of strength, grace and empowerment, which stems from her immigrant background, growing up in Opera houses around Russia. Cooper Phillip has seen success with her previous single garnering over 10 million listens online, as well as having also developed an impressive and loyal fanbase particularly on social media.

Born in a small town in Russia to a family of accomplished classical musicians, her early years were shaped being raised by her grandmother and aunt while her mother, a master violin player, toured around the world with various symphonies. This separation led Phillip to take comfort in music where she was enamored by the vocal stylings of Ella Fitzgerald. A young Phillip taught herself Fitzgerald’s songs inside and out, noticing every nuance of phrasing and jazz intonations. Phillip eventually enrolled at the prestigious Moscow State Classical Academy where she studied classical piano, music theory, harp, jazz, blues, ballet, and voice. The songstress worked diligently to expand her vocal range and control, taking everything that came in her path and feeding off of the challenge.

Recognizing her daughter’s talent and charisma, Phillip’s mother gave up her flourishing career to accompany a young Cooper on tour throughout Russia. Determined to pursue an international career in music, Phillip moved to New York City at the age of 17. With barely a dollar to her name, the singer worked and hustled, performing in weddings and clubs and sleeping in the storeroom of a restaurant where she sang. It wasn’t easy but she would not be deterred. After a few years in the city, Phillip jumped at an opportunity to sing at an important gig in Los Angeles. She never went back.

Phillip’s music features an underlying theme of strength, grace, and empowerment. “I believe we underestimate ourselves often and our fear takes over. My goal is to show people that they are stronger and can do much more then they think they can”, she admits. Using true-life stories, hardships, and experiences, the songwriter emits authenticity and courage throughout her music.

Cooper Phillip has seen success with her previous single garnering over 10 million listens online. She has also developed an impressive and loyal fanbase, particularly on social media and has performed at some of Los Angeles most prestigious venues.
