Bartees Strange, whose full name is Bartees Leon Cox Jr., was born in England and raised in Oklahoma. He was influenced by gospel and country music as a child. He eventually learnt about punk, indie music, and hip-hop, which all had an effect on his unique style. He worked in communications before becoming full-time in music. He knew how to play the guitar and how to make music. His first EP, Say Goodbye to Pretty Boy, was out in 2020 and reinterpreted songs by The National. Critics praised him for being innovative. He put out Live Forever that same year, which showed off his unique mix of styles.
Pitchfork and NPR both put Live Forever on their year-end lists, which is a big deal. His songs "Boomer" and "Mustang" showed how he mixed different styles. In 2022, he signed with 4AD and put out Farm to Table, which let him reach more people. Strange has travelled with Phoebe Bridgers, The National, and Courtney Barnett, which shows how flexible he is and how strong he is on stage. He has one of the most interesting voices in the alternative industry because he sings indie, rap, and soul music.
