Coppa Stone

Originally from Kingston, Jamaica, the self-proclaimed dreamer is “a member of the dancehall generation,” so his early childhood was spent absorbing the sounds of Roots, Rocksteady and Dub mixed with Reggae and a touch of Rock and R&B.After relocating to Miami, Florida, his love for music continued to grow alongside this thing called Hip Hop, and it began to bear fruit when he joined ranks with the underground collective called 101 VIBES as an emcee and deejay. As part of the101, Coppa cultivated his craft through numerous performances at local venues and countless nights in the studio. As a result, the collective released two independent albums and a 45 single for Musical Ambassador Productions.In 2002, he linked up with DJ Koncept, and his sound called Earth Shadow, and served as an assistant selector on the Jus Jugglin Show (a weekly reggae radio show) on Radiate 88.1 FM.In 2004, he joined the cast of “The Habibi Remix,” (a theatrical interdisciplinary production by Hanan Arts Cooperative which incorporated hip-hop and bellydancing) as one of the lead actors and co-writers.Since then, Coppa has been featured on various compilations, mixtapes, and solo albums; the most recent being Pressed, Sealed & Delivered for Tropix Entertainment. Fast forward to the present; in addition to co-hosting for Vibezz Television, you can either find Coppa performing as a regular guest with the resident reggae band Innasense at Mangoes Café on South Beach or in the studio working on his first solo project.
