Biography

For Coco O’Connor, the journey has been an inspiring one. Growing up in rural Alabama in a small town outside of Muscle Shoals called Cullman, the songwriter quickly began developing her sound. From that point, Coco began an adventure which has recently come full circle.

After releasing her debut album in 2015, Coco quickly began to build a following, along with establishing her signature sound. She took it to a new level with the 2018 seven-song EP, This Ol’ War, which was released independently. It quickly gained critical-acclaim, and was honored in early 2019 with an award from the International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA) during their 15th annual ceremony in recognition for her song, “The Devil, A Wounded Man, And Me.”

Returning to the studio in early 2019, Coco was more determined than ever to return to her musical beginnings. “It has a lot to do with going back to my roots where I grew up,” says Coco. The main catalyst for the development of the album was signing a record deal with Bonfire Music Group. After forming a band for a music festival in 2018, Coco took that inspiration to a whole new peak by bringing the full band in-studio to record on her latest release, When I Was Your World. The release was met with high critical-acclaim, with production from Bill McDermott (George Strait, Tim McGraw, Emmylou Harris), along with engineering by Steve Marcantonio.

Following that success, she returned to the studio for her latest album 'Big Reveal' - released in August 2022. It stays true to Coco's defined sound with a touch of new inspiration.
