Radical Face is the indie folk solo project of American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ben Cooper, known for narrative-driven albums and experimental production techniques.Cooper launched Radical Face in 2007 with the album 'Ghost', initiating a decade-long conceptual series about a fictional family. He records primarily in his Jacksonville, Florida home studio, gaining viral fame for the song 'Welcome Home' (2007), later featured in films, commercials, and TV shows. His work blends folk with electronic textures, often using found objects for percussion.

• Cooper's 'The Family Tree' series (2011-2016) comprises three LPs and EPs exploring generational sagas, inspired by his fascination with ancestry and Southern Gothic literature.
• He built his studio from salvaged materials and famously recorded sounds like footsteps on gravel, typewriter keys, and creaking doors to create organic textures for albums like 'The Family Tree: The Roots'.
• Despite 'Welcome Home' amassing over 200 million Spotify streams, Cooper avoids mainstream industry practices, self-releasing music and maintaining creative independence.
• He co-founded the electronic duo Electric President with Alex Kane before Radical Face, showcasing his versatility across genres.
