Grew up to an older brother and his friends head banging to metal like red hot chili peppers and Metallica. Being 5 years old knowing every single word to "Under the Bridge" making one of my favorite songs ever "Red Hot Chili Peppers". My day was Swift Staffing night missing a beat to the oldies falling in love with "The Temptations" "My Girl" then my mom always writing to Country, learning about Patsy Cline one of my all-time favorite artist! My friends at school listening and introducing me to rap giving me an outlook on every genre of music and I really understand the impact.

Tell us a secret that no one knows about yourself
Cocolena: One secret bout me, I'm a mentor to young gifted very talented Young men and women to encourage push and be their biggest cheerleader number one fan and always make sure the dream is theirs to follow and reach the top at being the best at their dream. Just knowing u have someone in your corner is all u need to keep pushing. I did not always have that, making it harder for me, scared and not knowing if I'm going in the right direction took me longer. No one should be on this journey alone, they talented and blessed with a wonderful gift that the world needs to see. Don't talk bout it cause I'm not trying to get notice for what they think is a good deed I get no greater joy then knowing I saved a person life by sport encouragement and not giving up on them making sure there dream come true pushing the limits to be the best they can be in a miss understood world
