Melodic is a British independent record label founded by David Cooper in 1999. Based in Manchester, England, Melodic has established itself as a prominent player in the music industry. With a diverse roster of talented artists and performers, Melodic continues to push boundaries and deliver exceptional music to its loyal fan base.

Since its inception, Melodic has been dedicated to discovering and nurturing emerging talent across various genres. The label's commitment to quality and innovation has earned it a reputation for being at the forefront of cutting-edge music. With an emphasis on artistic integrity and creative freedom, Melodic provides a platform for artists to express themselves authentically.

With over two decades of experience, Melodic has built strong relationships with both established acts and up-and-coming musicians. The label's extensive catalogue boasts an impressive array of releases that span multiple genres including indie rock, electronic, folk, and more. Whether you're searching for *upbeat anthems* or *introspective ballads*, Melodic offers something for every musical taste.

Tiptoe between the toadstools of Liverpool’s city parks, and amongst the foliage you might find a Strawberry Guy, contemplating his next chord-progression. Composing hi-fi symphonies from within his humble abode, the Welsh-born songwriter is ready to share the fruits of his labour with debut album Sun Outside My Window. A timeless vista of ethereal balladry looking towards 19th Century musical maestros and works of art, it brings new meaning to the term ‘Modern Classic’ and is the most optimistic of lockdown records yet.

A one-man impressionist, painting majestic soundscapes, Strawberry Guy blends truthful lyrics with lush arrangements to conjure new emotive worlds. Inspired by composers of the Romantic period, or Debussy, Ravel, and other classical artists of the 1800s, his wonderland moves like a Monet painting where arpeggios dance between meadows of dazzling dynamics and dramatic key changes. As former keyboard player of The Orielles and Trudy and The Romance, the light through his floor to ceiling windows has caused a dramatic Greenhouse Effect and now ripening on solo terms, his innocent uploads of ‘Without You’ and ‘F-Song’ comfort 2 million Spotify listeners a month. ‘Mrs Magic’ has received 40 million streams, landing at #13 in its chart and countless fan-created videos have appeared on YouTube. 

Imitating nature’s effect on emotion, like 70s songwriters, or the fantastical soundtracks accompanying vibrant scenes in the Japanese animated Studio Ghibli films and video games, landscape is brought to the fore. Monet’s picturesque Meadow at Giverny features as the album’s accompanying artwork – perhaps a reminder of the rural Welsh countryside views through his childhood home’s window.

Just as the first Strawberry Guy EP Taking My Time To Be offered a slowing down for the soul, Sun Outside My Window is musically unhurried, written and recorded over 2 years.
