Not since 'The Miseducation...' has there been such a seamless bridge of hiphop and urban soul; but in a world where musical comparisons are unavoidable if not inevitable, Coco Jones is out to carve her own niche in the minds of connoisseurs and casual listeners alike. While heavily influenced by the soul of the 70s, the 24 year-old Ms. Jones should not be taken lightly as a lyricist as she brings a passion in her vocals rivaled only by her skill on the mic. Her debut album, "To Whom This May Concern" features a collection of soulful ballads, as well as fire-breathing hiphop classics, entirely produced by up and coming producer Roahn Hylton of FirstBorn Productions. Coco Jones' passion and versatility will surely evoke comparisons, but this young lady is in a league of her own.
Why this name?
Coco is my nickname, given at birth ironically. Jones is my real last name. So, I just put 'em together. It's a perfect fit!
Do you play live?
I do live shows. I'm always open to book more gigs (hint, hint) I love the live band sound! Special moment...my first live show alone (I've been performing with my crew Reaction for about 6 years now) so...that was pretty special for me.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is closing the gap between the customer's home and the store the customer has to GO to in order to get music they like. It's making the shopping convenient and the "jacking" as well. I think the distribution process and the budgets previously invested in packaging and marketing are having to be rethought...and probably alot of jobs too.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
If the deal was right...but I'd prefer a MAJORLY funded marketing deal with MAJOR BACKING...and small label feel/personality.(you know, personal)
Your influences?
OLD SCHOOL (i.e. MOTOWN, stevie, shirley brown, ETW) Lauryn, Jill, India, GOSPEL MUSIC, Mary J. Blije, TLC, Common, Kanye, ALICIA KEYS
Favorite spot?
Still looking for that favorite....more traveling yet to do. So far it's gotta be the Hawaiian beaches.
