BIOGRAPHY
The younger Hooker's musical style is markedly modernized, featuring contemporary arrangements.
Born in Detroit, Hooker was performing live on local radio stations by the time he was 8 years old, and toured with his father as a teenager.
He struggled with drugs and alcohol for several years before reviving his career with his debut solo album, Blues with a Vengeance, in 2004. The album was nominated for a Grammy. A follow-up album, Cold as Ice, was released in 2006.
Hooker's third album, All Odds Against Me, was released on August 19,
2008. Marking a clear departure from his father's style of music, the
album was nominated for a Grammy that year in the Best Traditional Blues
CD category. An animated video for the song, "Blues Ain't Nothin' But a
Pimp," produced by Paris-based studio Callicore, featured Hooker as a
street-hardened character known as "Bluesman." The video was a 2009 Webby
Award honoree for special effects.
Hooker's 2008 touring band included of George Lacson (Bass), Jeff Horan
(Guitar), Mike Rogers (Drums), and Gig Anderson (Keys).
