Drawing wide-ranging inspiration from indie, modern rock, folk and pop, Chords Of Indigo's music leans on anthemic, guitar-driven hooks and impassioned vocals. Musical influences and touchpoints include Death Cab for Cutie, Bon Iver, Sam Fender, The War On Drugs and many more.

2023 was a busy debut year for the musician and producer, self-releasing his first six genre-spanning singles to positive critical acclaim.
