Meet Coco Bai’ | Independent Recording Artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Coco Bai’ and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Coco, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
Hey hey lovely people! My name is Coco Bai’ and I am an independent recording artist based out of the DMV area. There isn’t a time that I can recall when I wasn’t singing. Music has been a part of my life since I can remember, so it was easy for me to make the decision to pursue an artistic and creative career. I’ve said this before and I’m sure I’ll say it a million times over, my satisfaction in singing used to come from being commended by others. But as I’ve grown, my why has shifted. It has now evolved into a two-fold reasoning. I definitely still enjoy receiving accolades, but more importantly, I thoroughly enjoy serving others with my voice. Oftentimes, servitude is misconceived as a single act performed by a waiter or waitress, when in actuality, to serve someone is to act as a host or hostess in offering or distributing to another, no matter what that offering may be. Having the opportunity to take people away from life’s obstacles, if just for a song, is what I live for. Being able to put into words and melodies, the way that one may feel about a certain situation brings me pure joy. Being a voice for one that may not have the strength to vocalize how they’re feeling at the moment, means the world to me. And that is what I enjoy, the mutual benefit of being blessed and being a blessing.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m a straight up RnB/Soul artist, haha. And I love every bit of it. The freedom that I get on stage and the fluidity of the instrumentation accompanying my voice is always so magical to me. Putting feelings into words is the best part for me. I received my Bachelors degree in Music media with an emphasis in voice back in 2010. Since then, I branded myself as an Independent artist and went on to build my career. NOTHING about this journey has been easy, and it still isn’t. But through all of the trials, holding on to the fact that I’m still here, is a clear indication that I’m not done yet. That is what keeps me going.

Who else deserves a little credit and recognition in your story?
God – thank you for giving me this gift and entrusting me with its. My family, my Mommy, Daddy, brother, grandparents (may they Rest In Peace) aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, teachers, mentors, professors. my friend and song writer Genesis, my Management Moe & Impactful Management. Conrad and Devin at Blue Room Productions. All of the radio stations and DJ’s that have given me a platform to share my love with. My village is huge and they have all played a tremendous role in my success. And lastly, everyone that has supported me along my journey.
