Susan Brice, better known by her stage name Coco Star (or simply Coco), is an English singer-songwriter. She is currently signed to Universal Music and EMI. Coco Star has collaborated with artists such as Craig David, Artful Dodger and Fragma for the number 1 hit, "".
Coco Star was born in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire. Her parents were both musical artists and singers although not professionally. She was musically active before the age of just 5 with hopes of having a no. 1 hit record, which she later achieved. Coco can play the cello and all of the recorder family, and some piano.
At the age of just 12, Coco was writing and performing her own songs and had recorded her first track at the age of 15.
Coco attended The University of West England, Bristol where she achieved a BA Hons degree in fashion and textiles. Prior to this, she had completed an art foundation course and a national diploma in art and design.
During her time at The University of West England (not to be confused with The University of Bristol), she met up with Jody Wisternoff, Massive Attack and Tricky and began to further enhance her live performances and songwriting skills, landing underground hits with "One By One" and "Always on my Mind".
In 1994, Coco Star was signed by Universal MCA music publishing as part of a development deal where she worked alondside Paul Connolly on live showcases. Coco was coached by Whitney Houston's vocal coach and had dance tuition at Pineapple Dance Studios, as well as meeting Rob Davis regularly to work on music he wrote, and "I Need a Miracle" was just one of a few projects Coco worked on between 1994 and 1997. The ad libitum parts and sections of the melody line in "I Need a Miracle" including harmonies are exclusively the creation of Coco, who gave the song its iconic stamp. Coco also spent some time working with Roger McKenzie (AKA Wildchild) who died in 1995 aged 24.
