near Hanover, GERMANY; his family moved back to Colchester, in England,
when he was six. He attended the Goldsmith College in London when began
playing music in a band called Seymour, Coxon assumed the role of lead
guitarist and finally the quartet decided to change their name to Blur.
The band became one of the most successful British acts of the '90s with
a string of #1 albums; in 1998, Coxon, launched his own Transcopic Records
and released his debut solo album, "The Sky Is Too High", inspired
by his love for American Alternative-Rock.
The following year, he recorded "13", his last album with Blur
and in mid-2000 released his second solo effort, "The Golden D",
the album title refers to Coxon's favourite chord.
A year later, he followed up with "Crow Sit On Blood Tree";
after weeks of rumour about inter-band conflicts, it was confirmed in
September 2002 that the former-Blur guitarist
had left the band, at the same time Coxon released his fourth solo album,
"The Kiss Of Morning".
In May 2004 the guitarist issued "Happiness In Magazines" which
rose to #19 spot on the Official British Albums chart spawning three U.K.

Of Misery" and "Spectacular".
