Though she began studying music as a child (piano, flute, choir, musical theater), it wasn’t until college that she first picked up the guitar and began dabbling in songwriting. While attending a university in London, the vibrancy of the local music scene combined with a musical group of friends laid the groundwork for her to find her own voice and focus on creating original music.

Since 2018, Cools has lived in different parts of the U.S., moving between California, New York, New Jersey, and Arizona. During her time traversing the country, she found inspiration in America’s vast nature, crossed paths with incredibly talented people who eventually became her creative team, and released the critically acclaimed EP Misfit Paradise as well as her first song in her mother-tongue, Flemish. The cumulative product of these transformative years is Wilder Mind: an enchanting collection of songs to be released in the summer of 2023. 

Described as “the epitome of West Coast, classic, old-school kind of music”, Cools continues to set herself apart as a storyteller and songwriter extraordinaire.
