Alma Lynn Cook, known professionally as Alma Cook, is an American singer-songwriter and spoken word artist.[1] Her debut album Pass It On was released in 2012, and her single "For a Poet" and full-length project Tactics followed in 2014.[2][3]

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Cook grew up in Madison, Wisconsin,[4] and attended Columbia College in Chicago.[5][6][7][8] After college, she began playing at various clubs and festivals across the United States, opening for acts including contemporary gospel musician Jonathan McReynolds[9] and Christian rapper George Moss.[10]

Career

[edit | edit source]

Cook released an EP titled Pass It On in September 2012, followed by the single "For a Poet," which charted at No. 2 on Rádio Nova Portugal in December 2014.[11][12] She later released the full-length album Tactics, produced by bassist Chris Thigpen, whose father Cornell Thigpen (Mary J. Blige, Chaka Kahn, Stevie Nicks, and Patti LaBelle[13]) played organ on the song "Hotshot."[14][15]

As of 2021, Cook was a podcast host and co-director of cultural engagement for Braver Angels, an American nonprofit focused on political depolarization.[16] She was noted by Forbes as a conservative.[17]

In addition to her work as a musician, Cook owns an oil and gas compliance company, Cook Compliance Solutions, based in Williston, North Dakota.[18][19][17] The business works with oilfield service providers looking to obtain the right safety certifications, insurance and other measures needed to contract under larger oil companies.[20][21]
