Press text (german version below): Some time ago Cookie, started his way in a Swiss Reggae scene predominantly dominated by Reggae in Swiss dialect, as one of the only artists singing in English. 2008 he presented his EP “The Good Weed” and the Dancehall hit tune “Cyaan Stop” in collaboration with the Singjay Cali P. This tune made its way into many international Skate-, Freestyle Ski and Snowboard videos such as “Every day is Saturday” by Redbull and Salomon. It reached the status of a “must be tune“ at every Freestyle event.


Cookies very first single release “Don’t You Tell Me” wich appeared 2007, was proof of his works quality. Over two years now the tune gets played daily on Radio DRS Virus, Switzerland’s most announced youth radio.


The single “A Girl Like You” taken from his upcoming debut album already made it to the heavy rotation of DRS3 (Switzerlands No. 1 radio), and even entered the Itunes Reggae Charts on place No. 2!


Many very talented Reggae musicians from all over the world cooperated and contributed to the album. Due to this there are riddims on it coming from Jamaica, New Zealand, Germany and Switzerland of course.
Even Jah Mason, the man with the extraordinary loud voice from Mandeville Jamaica is to be heard on Cookie’s new Herbman Anthem “Herbalist’s tale”.
On the lovers tune “A Girl Like You”, you will hear the charming voice of Sophia Squire whom’s harmonies are also to be heard on other tracks on the album. Another sweet, sweet lovers tune is called “Move On”, voiced on a riddim by Sam Gilly (House of Riddim).


The soulful part of the album is definitely the song “Hold On” a beautiful combination with the Jamaican singer Andrew Robinson. Lots of reality lyrics are to be heard on the tunes “Marching On” and “Modern Times”. Modern Roots and conscious lyrics are to be found on tunes like “Good Life”, “Running Away” and on the album’s title track “Like A Tree”. The hit tunes for every party and dance hall certainly are the tunes “Inna Mi Car”, “Stories Pon Stories” and “Who Dem”. RnB fans will love the song “So Glad” and listen and enjoy it while chilling and relaxing.


Like A Tree is a very outstanding first work, starting from the artwork up to the last tone it is a impressing work of art… big and tall…just like a tree!!!
