Biography
Born in Brazzaville in 1970, Cooper grew up in London and went on to study Fashion Design. His career began performing in transvestite cabaret act "The Pleased Wimmin", which was spotted by DJ Danny Rampling who booked them to perform at club night Glam. From there Cooper transitioned into the DJ booth, playing records however in drag so he was ready to dance on the podium afterwards. In October 1993 Cooper opened his own club night, Pleased, in Sutton Row. In 1995 Cooper's dancefloor hit, "Passion", produced by Norman Cook, topped the UK Dance Chart. Also in 1995 Cooper provided a mix for the Ministry of Sound compilation album One Half of a Whole Decade. From the mid 1990s Cooper took a c. 10 year break from performing, in which period he completed a degree in Popular Music in Edinburgh. By 2011 Cooper was performing again, and in 2015 releasing music including the single "Don’t be Scared (of yourself)".[1][2][3][4][5][6] In 2019 JPW remixed the Wow & Flutter single "Grace Jones", which received a 7/10 review rating in Mixmag.[7]
