Graham Cooney aka Yenkee is a Cork City-born musician based in London making dreamy, youthful tunes packed full of wit, insight and magnetic hooks. His journey into recording and producing his own music began at age 15, using minimal equipment purchased with money made from busking on the streets of Cork. He crafted his lo-fi bedroom recordings into sincere and soulful indie pop, inspired by artists such as Marvin Gaye, Rostam Batmanglij and Ariel Pink. Using a reel to reel tape machine for its gentle hiss, Yenkee’s sound is produced using the tasteful palettes of 60’s and 70’s rock.

Since releasing his 2019 EP Cannibal Tree, he has sold out venues around Ireland and The UK and garnered over 5 million streams on Spotify.
Yenkee’s frank and honest lyrics paired with his otherworldly, intimate approach are destined for great things. With a genuine cult following already and soaking up all the experiences life has to throw at him, he is just getting started.
