About Me

*** The video below is of DAMAE(who sings with fragma) performing Toca’s Miracle,listen carefully and you will hear COCO’S voice as Damae tries to sing along and pass herself off as ’COCO’, her singing is sporadic with alot of miming involved also. in both these videos you can clearly hear coco’s voice is playing all the way through! This is misleading and deceiving the crowd, all of coco’s appearances will always be listed on this page please do not be misled by this imposter!Here is a video of ( Damae) again using COCO’S voice as a prop to decieve the crowd, even coco’s original video has been used as a back drop to mislead the crowd into thinking it is COCO performing on the stage!!!When it is most certainly not!. HER VOICE HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRONG ENOUGH AND POWERFUL, for her to stand alone/SHE IS ALSO AN ESTABLISHED SONGWRITER AND HAS WRITTEN FOR MANY OTHER STARS!
. Both FRAGMA and COCO had their own seperate RELEASES ALREADY PLANNED AFTER THE RELEASE/REMIX OF ’i need a miracle.
This was just a one off remix that just happened to go to NO1, eagain this was a song that again became more successful by two completely seperate entities who were already established successfully making music on their own ie,’’COCO STAR’’ and German producers ’FRAGMA’.
even the duderstadts thanked her as they said that that the ’(fragma) name would of never of been so successfull without her !,SHE HAS NEVER BEEN PART OF THEIR GROUP ............HER VOCALS AND THEIR MUSIC WERE PAIRED TOGETHER JUST FOR THAT ONE SONG OF COCO’S!!the other singers they used for their follow ups to miracle were chosen to sing fragma’s own productions and material, WHERE AS WITH COCO THEY USED ONE OF HER old vocal parts , AGAIN BECAUSE A DJ FOUND THAT IT FITTED OVER ONE OF THEIR OLD TRACKSSO THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE HERE ALREADY BETWEEN COCO STAR AND THE OTHER FRAGMA VOCALISTS,THE 3RD ONE NOW ACTUALLY BEING THEIR FRONT PERSON.....
Following coco’s 18-month world tour, her main area of promotion became America, performing alongside many other highly prized acts such as NELLY, LI’lKIM and JAY Z, thus earning her a great deal of devoted fans in the USA.
COCO was awarded ‘PA OF THE Year 2000’ by DANCE INTERNATIONAL CLUB AND MUSIC AWARDS!, REWARDING HER WITH EXCELLENCE IN LATE NIGHT ENTERTAINMENT’’ !!which she went in person to receive and perform at LONDON’S famous ’’THE HIPPODROME’’.
She was very honored to have received this award as there is only ONE AWARDED per year....and thousands of night club owners/managers had voted for her to win this very special AWARD!!,
She also received her ‘GOLD SALES AWARD ’ for recognised sales of over 400,000 COPIES of ‘TOCA’S MIRACLE’ that year in the UK alone . EVERY YEAR SINCE THE YEAR 2000
’’I NEED A MIRACLE ’’has been released on ‘THE BIGGEST DANCE ANTHEMS EVER’,NUMEROUS compilations, thus earning its status as a ’TRUE CLUB CLASSIC’. ’’I NEED A MIRACLE ’has become one of the ’BIGGEST DANCE CLASSICS OF THE LAST DECADE!!’’ ON AN INTERNATIONAL LEVEL AND WAS ALSO NO1 IN FOURTEEN OTHER COUNTRIES!INCLUDING AUSTRALIA AND DENMARK......The list goes on!.
Then whilst out partying at the Met bar in London,coco bumped into the BNHEAVIES and sang to ANDY LEVY (BNH BASE PLAYER) acapella style,and impressed him so much by her rich gospel style that he invited her to his house to do some co writing. That said, Andy Levy and herself frequently got together to write and record some great tracks together, which lend themselves to the distinctive sound of THE BNHEAVIES style.
COCO then signed another single deal with R&B label OYSTER MUSIC who released a white label of ‘TAKE MY ADVICE’, a track that was in the style of old school disco which took samples of the ROY AYRES track – ’running away’. Coco received some great feedback from various magazines like’ BLUES AND SOUL’ MAGAZINE who dubbed her a young CHAKA KHAN.
Recent collaborations have seen coco write top lines for GERI HALLIWELL ,and TOMMY D pop producer ,AXWELL.
For the past 3 years, Coco has teamed up with the FRIDAY NIGHT POSSE producer HARRY HARD more recently known as HARDINO and together they have come up with several new dance/pop tracks, which are already gaining a large amount of interest…………Watch this space!!
COCO IS AN ESTABLISHED AND PUBLISHED SONGWRITER /PRODUCER/ARRANGER who is extremely versatile in her vocal delivery and writes anything from pop,dance,rock,ballads,trance,funky house,old school disco/country and much more!!!. !!OTHER FACTS AND INTERESTS!!

This is an actual painting of me done by my internationally famous painter friend, Darren Baker...you’d NEVER guess this was a painting would you?!
This painting is for sale for £5000 / US$9500...Darren is internationally acclaimed for the realism in his paintings...
CoCo Star performing - Toca’s MiracleAbove is the official video for Toca’s Miracle (aka ’I Need a Miracle’).
COCO appeared on the BBC’s TOTPOPS four times in one year - here’s a video of the first performance (she was Number 1 for 2 weeks!!)...She then appeared at the live Top of The Pops show at Sheffield arena, along side Brian Adams, Sugar Babes, All Saints, Gabrielle, Nelly and Lil Kim. Coco was absolutely honoured to have been asked to appear on the live TOTPOPS Christmas show that year to, amongst other live TV shows such as CD:UK and the PEPSI CHART SHOW! ;) etc...
This video is of me performing ’I Need a Miracle’ live at the Dancestar Awards ceremony in London...
This is Coco Star (singer of ’I Need a Miracle’ aka ’Toca’s Miracle’) during Major label auditions while she was signed to MCA / Universal Music Publishing...
As you’ll see here, she is a very versatile Gospel / R&B vocalist with an immense octave range and has a voice with a lot of power.
At this time due to the fact that she was signed for a 3 yr development deal with MCA / Universal Music Publishing, she got vocal coached by Mariah Carey’s and Whitney Houston’s vocal coach in order to enhance and develop her diaphramatic breathing techniques - this only enhanced and developed her already natural abilities as a singer.
