Cocoa is a singer/song-writer & emcee hailing from New York City. Born and raised in Harlem, she carries the sensibility of a chic, sophisticated, not-to-be-messed-with city girl in her music. Her influences include : Pharrell Williams, Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Kelis, Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliot and Gwen Stefani.
C-B is a self-proclaimed "triple threat" which has widely been proven via her photography, media and music skills. Owner of popular blog COOL CRUEL WORLD, and photography start-up company HAUTE FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY, Cocoa Bella holds her own in several different realms of the industry. She emulates the style, creativity and elegance of Grace Jones, with the tough-girl swagger of Kelis, Gwen Stefani and Missy Elliot.
Her journey with music started years ago when she had a chance meeting with the A&R at Star Trak. Though that didn't work out when they dis-banded from Arista, Cocoa continued to work in the industry as a journalist penning stories for the likes of: Ebony Magazine, Don Diva Magazine, J. Records and more. She grew her brand as a blogger, photographer NYC personality, and fashion maven. But if you ask her what it's time for now, she'll say loud and clear "Now it's time for the music!"
