The Real D'Coy

About Me


View The Real D'Coy's EPKThe Real D’Coy is a Los Angeles based power trio that started as a duo. Long time friends and musical collaborators Andy Mitton (guitar/vocals/songwriter) and Clark Freeman (drums/arrangement) decided that they were through with supporting other songwriters in other bands and that it was time to start their own project. Cultivating a theatrical indie rock sound, The Real D’Coy brings a blend of poetry disguised as catchy melodies, and the rhythmic drive of a well-tuned Mac truck. Clark’s sister, Cassidy Freeman, has been the latest addition, adding her sweet female voice, and a distinct electronic element.FEBRUARY 18th we release our debut EP "The Real D'Coy" co-produced and engineered by multi-platinum recording engineer Mike Jackson. Also, look for our first music video should be out soon! Come check out one of our many LA based shows, OR if you catch us on the road, you will not be disappointed!
