When it comes to music, there’s no doubt that Tino Cochino is the artist that gives you a genuine spark of talent mixed with originality. He began an internship with a local radio station in his hometown of Lubbock, TX at only 13 followed by his first full time air shift at age 16. Tino Cochino has broken down all the barriers. He now hosts WHUT IT DEW RADIO in San Antonio, TX at POWER 106-7 and has quickly popularized his name throughout the market. Along with success in radio, Tino Cochino has expanded in all aspects of music. From an entrepreneur to a successful radio personality and now a new/upcoming artist. Tino Cochino is becoming one of the MOST talked about names in the independent music scene. From quick lyrics to meaningful songs, real talk to club bangers, Tino Cochino’s sound has every base covered! For Tino to become the creative artist that he is, he had to have inspiration. “I love and respect poetry. I think it is an art to be able to write and express your feelings to a crowd and have them understand exactly where your coming from or what your going through. It’s how I express myself when I’m going through any kind of emotion . After I write about what’s going on, I usually feel alot better or actually see it from a different perspective; which is important for any artist, you want to sell your music through experience." Tino Cochino’s OFFICIAL album OVERLOOKED is under construction and will be out next year. His first street single
“BLACK N MILD†is a club banger that will have you ready to blow smoke in a haters face! The album also includes AIN'T THIS prod. by DJ LO$T and
WHAT AM I GONNA DO featuring Konvict Music's very own, RAY L. One thing that Tino Cochino wants his fans and more importantly new listeners just coming to hear about his music is that it’s more than just guest appearances and radio records. One song with very special meaning to Tino is entitled SPINNING WHEEL which touches on his uncle who committed suicide.
"I decided to call the album OVERLOOKED because when I first tried to get into radio people would always tell me that there was no money in the radio business, that I didnt have the talent, or that I didnt look the part. Now, I'm in the 7th largest city in the US holding' down the night show for Power 106!" When he first told people that he was going to take his music career serious, people would laugh and tell him that he wouldn’t make it. Now that Tino is working with credible artists/award winning producers people are beginning to see just how serious his career has become! "My goal with this album is for my fans to feel they know me on a much deeper level after listening.
I feel that artists these days just focus on making a radio and/or ringtone hit,
getting some money, and falling off. I'm not here for that! I'm here and not going anywhere!!!!!" Tino Cochino’s style is said to be one of the most versatile and what must be noted is the fact that his work ethic is one like no other. For most OVERLOOKED is considered to be a statement now........... its an album!
