In the beginning, Quarry came from nowhere remarkable. His journey since has been anything but. Gaining a reputation early on for being a quick-witted trouble-maker with a kind heart and a hot head, there was never any risk of Quarry slipping under the radar. Skipping school to get tattoos and performing for packed out rooms of underage drinkers, his early years started strong and only grew stronger.
Developing a uniquely soulful and thoughtful voice, Quarry has now twice taken to the stage at Glastonbury festival, delivering a standout performance for BBC live lounge at the legendary Maida Vale Studios back-to-back with Wet Leg, and supporting German giants Milky Chance for 26 shows across Europe and the UK.
Quarry is pushing his way to the centre of the alternative pop world by refusing to play by its rules. His music is individualistic, cheeky and often provocative, earning him a following which relishes his authenticity as an artist. There is a barely-contained creative restlessness uniting Quarry’s diverse catalogue, and his next album is set to follow in that very same mould. Written over the course of 2 months living isolated in a mud hut, hidden 4km above sea level in a remote region of the Himalayan mountains. Quarry is certainly no stranger to tough living, and it shows. His music speaks of a man who has more than his fair share of stories to tell, delivering passionate and emotional performances that will resonate deeply for anyone familiar with the magical highs and devastating lows of a life well-lived. Contained within everything is a hopeful and insightful message that feels more important now than ever, and we wouldn’t be surprised if a lot more people know Quarry’s name in the very near future.
