Cocanina has been making waves in the music business since 2019, demonstrating her immense skill as a singer, songwriter, and rapper. She was raised in Toronto and is of mixed Canadian and Trinidadian ancestry, fusing the two cultures to create a universe that is all her own.
She is determined to build her own destiny, encouraged by the heritage of the great women who came before her, from the depths of sorrow and the pleasures of birth. She wants to demonstrate as a mother that she has learned those lessons and can now set an example for women and girls who are just beginning their own path.
She describes herself as “Somewhere between a pop princess and hood baby”, influenced by artists such as Amy Winehouse, Biggie Smalls, Eartha Kitt, Lauren Hill, Erykah Badu and 50 Cent, she is bringing the lyrical flow to her game that is both addictive and infectious. Her powerful vocal performances are an indication that she has consumed the knowledge of her peers and truly understands the craft of creating music. Brilliant rhymes and effortless vocals sit atop beats that hint of Caribbean life, embracing audiences with a sublime and rewarding experience.
She is the sunshine that caresses the crystal-clear seas of R&B, Hip-Hop, and Soul, the artist that can bring a new generation of women to recognize that this is their world, and she exudes the honesty that empowers people to trust in their own ambitions. Cocanina is about to release her first full-length album, and her admirers will adore her even more as a result.
