About Me


Coco has recently finished filming an episode of a new Detective Drama series, 'Hanrahan Investigates' coming on Channel 5 in AUGUST. Keep your eyes peeled!!!
An hyper-active child who wanted to dance before standing, run before walking, and sing before talking.
A BORN PERFORMER! At the age of 5, Coco took to the floor as a gymnast...Her talent as a sports star became obvious and by 11 she was, competing internationally, winning medals & representing Great Britain. 1999 saw her take the title of British Beam Champion and saw her successfully compete in The Youth Olympics, Esjberg, Denmark.
Her experience taught her that DEDICATION, DETERMINATION, WILL-POWER, SELF-BELIEF AND PERSEVERENCE ARE THE KEYS TO SUCCESS.
Now, she applies this to everything she does.
COCO DETORI discovered her inner musicality when she retired from gymnastics and was spotted at a talent contest, singing 'fever' by Kylie Minogue. Her only training was nothing other than religiously singing into her hair brush to 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' (Bonnie Tyler) and 'Think Twice'(Celine Dion)!!
She continued to work hard wowing her audiences and family, with her powerful and versatile voice.
Now...She lives for the buzz of live performance, and has performed gigs to 1000s covering various classics with an original twist....Peter Gabriel (Solsbury Hill), Sting/Police (Message In a Bottle), Stevie Wonder (Living for the City), Christina Aguilera (Fighter), plus Acid Jazz Classics (Midnight at the Oasis, Moondance)
COCO is not just a pretty face...her intelligence, maturity and presence exceeds her years...with A-levels (grade A-B) in Business, Politics and Spanish, her destiny is nothing but success. She is also a trainee personal fitness trainer and lifestyle Coach. With a love for sport you can classify her as nothing but a fitness freak! She vows to set up a small chain of Health and fitness Spa Suites within her life time and on the back of her music career.
With her music as her priority, COCO, after her A-levels, went on to study at The Academy of Contemporary Music, where she was spotted by Bruce Elliot-Smith (Grammy Award winning producer and songwriter for work done with Kylie Minogue.)
Her work with Bruce (Angel Management) and the great Pete Hammond, has resulted in a releases on Spinnin Records ('Do it Tonight' by Rockefella ft. Tori (Radio Edit)) and 3Beat Records (MoS) ('Eternity' & 'You're Mine' by DJ Nation ft. Tori)

My Interests

Member Since: 29/09/2006

_______________________________________

COCO has a strong, powerful and versatile voice that sits comfortably in pop and funky RnB and she loves singing with the edgy sounds and melodies of Rock.

"Music is my passion, it's in my blood, so much so that my energy never fails me...I strongly believe there is a destiny and path out there for everyone, it's just a case of discovering your truth and focusing your dreams. We should all have aspiration otherwise what is our meaning? Mine is to be internationally recognised as a performer and songwriter and there is nothing I can't and won't do to be successful (except compromise my morals!)..

..I love writing and composing: it's the 'recycling bin' for all my emotions and feelings. I love the challenge of a blank canvas, exploring, with words and emotions, what my heart really wants to say! I have found so much inspiration in working with other people in both the recording and live environment and I admire writers like Elton John, Phil Collins, Billy Corgan, Guy Chambers and Sting for there ability to create timeless classics in a constantly changing and demanding industry and look, myself, to make a mark and impact within music, as they have done - I know I can!"

Influences: MUSIC....THE WORLD THROUGH MY EYES...Aretha Franklin, En Vogue, Chili Peppers, Michael Jackson, Van Morrisson, Queen, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, Madonna, Janis Joplin, Robbie Williams, Sting...and the list goes on...John legend, John Mayer, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, Seal, Annie Lennox, Phil Collins, Lifehouse....Still Reading????
