Young Guv is songwriter, Ben Cook. In 2018, he moved from his Toronto home to a sublet in Brooklyn, New York and there he began writing some of the best songs of his life. "GUV I", out in August 2019, is a collection of power pop — infectious pop music. Ben calls GUV I, the new album, “a little ode to the place that blessed me such love and inspiration to create so many songs I felt comfortable sharing with everyone.” The city told him, in its aloof way, that a great record was waiting to be written and, most important, to be offered like a bouquet of flowers to the people of the world, in a humble act of love and communion. Ben’s been a true songwriter long enough to have recognized, and heeded, the coded command when it came. He’s since moved back to NYC and plans to stay awhile.
