Cody Crump
Cody Crump will be releasing his EP entitled Death on May 5, 2015. Listen to the first song off his EP “Just Another Day” below.
A primarily self-taught musician, Crump was kicked out of the school band and choir for bad jokes, and impeached as his junior class president for getting arrested. Obsessed with the film scores of John Williams and Danny Elfman, Crump chose music as his path after a Metallica concert at age 17. A man of many contradictions, the now Los Angeles based Crump hails from a sleepy town in Colorado where he worked various jobs, including dishwashing and waiting tables, to fund his musical ventures, before moving to Denver.
