About

Graham Coxon (Graham Leslie Coxon) was born on 12 March 1969, in Rinteln, West Germany is an English singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and painter.

He is best known as the guitarist in the rock band Blur. His artistic and musical contribution is prominently featured on the band's first six albums, from 1991's Leisure to 1999's 13. The latter's cover was also designed by Coxon.

He is also a critically acclaimed solo artist with six solo albums, half of them recorded while still a member of the band. Coxon is capable of playing several other instruments, besides guitar, and is famous for recording his albums single-handedly, without much help from session musicians.

In 2002, he left Blur, following a bitter dispute with the other members. He only featured in the last of the tracks for the following year's Think Tank. In April 2007, Alex James said Blur will be returning to studio in August with Graham Coxon. There they will decide whether to release a new album or call it quits.

Graham Coxon studied Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London, for two years, until he quit due to the increasing success of his band at the time, Seymour, who later changed its name to Blur.

He left the band in 2002 following a dispute with the other members and other circumstances. As he stated in an interview in 2006; “I had a breakthrough, I think my life just became calmer, I gave up drinking. My priorities changed as I had a young daughter. The group didn’t want me to record for the Think Tank album, so I took it as a sign to leave".

His last contribution to Blur was a song called "Battery in Your Leg", the closing song on Blur's 2003 album Think Tank, before leaving the line-up.
