| Arthur Pope: General Info
|
| Member Since | 11/20/2006 | | Band Website | ArthurPope.com | | Band Members | Arthur Pope | | Influences | Derek Webb, Demon Hunter, Jars of Clay, Chris Rice, Incubus... pretty much everyone else I listen to as well. | | Sounds Like | Edgy lyrics presented with the fervor and fiery passion of conviction are things found to be commonplace in the musical world of Arthur Pope. His minimalist approach to songwriting allows his vocals to penetrate, while his work on the acoustic guitar is nothing short of moving.
There are few artists who can claim a sound all their own. With everyone climbing to become the "next big thing," building directly off of those they admired before them (or simply ripping them off), musicians offering art which is truly unique are few, and difficult to find. Arthur Pope is one of the few. His music is difficult to compare. It is not otherworldly. It is not alien. It is uncompromisingly human, and that is it's draw. He sings from the heart, and plays from the soul. Creatively, intentionally, intricately, he crafts songs which communicate truths which are so familiar to us all, that they cannot help pull us in. Met with his honesty, talent for composition, and captivating vocal work, hearing what he has to say becomes a pleasure worth paying for.
What makes it even sweeter is you can hear it all for free. | | Type of Label | Major |

| About Arthur Pope |
|
My name is Arthur Pope. I sing. I play guitar. I write songs. Most are about Jesus. Many are about girls. I am 20 years old. I live in Missouri. My goal, in regards to music, is to become an established independent Christian recording artist, and to earn a modest income through those means. I came about the decision to actively pursue a career in music after three semesters of Bible college. It was then that I decided I have no desire to become a worship minister, and that songwriting will always be my greatest ambition.
My sound is always subject to change, but at present, my music is largely acoustic guitar driven, due to that being what I'm most comfortable writing with. Lyrically and musically my songs tend to gravitate toward the melancholy, however I usually like to bring in a strong sense of hope. I strive to write honest music, and I rarely sugarcoat things (though I do pride myself in my ability to write thought provoking and insightful lyrics, which are just as poetic as they are powerful). I have been compared to artists such as Derek Webb, Jars of Clay, and Incubus.
