Jake Coco was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1984 and was raised by his
single mother Patricia. She introduced him to the violin the tender age
of two, and from there Jake began his long voyage down the wave of
music. After mastering the violin in only five years, Jake decided to
move onto other musical instruments, and at the age of nine, he taught
himself guitar and began learning the power of percussion with a drum
set that was given to him by his stepfather. By the age of fourteen
Jake was already performing on a regular basis at local jazz, blues and
rock and roll clubs playing everything he could from the drums and
piano to the guitar and the bass.
After graduating high school in 2002, Jake was faced with a great
decision. He was offered a full scholarship to the "Berklee School of
Music" for his spectacular performing abilities on the drums. He was
also given another opportunity to tour with his band "Spenser."
Following his passion for music and his love of performing, Jake
decided to stick beside his band and began gaining all his knowledge
and wisdom of performing on the road for the next two years.
Once back home, Jake began writing lyrics and producing his own music
that would one day become "Broken Hearts and Fairy Tales." Jake was
then faced with another difficult decision. He could stay with the band
that had become his family, or spread his wings and fly. Jake followed
his heart and began his journey as a solo artist, locking himself in
his basement studio for nearly four months where he wrote, arranged,
produced, mixed and mastered the songs that became the album "Broken
Hearts and Fairy Tales."
After finishing his album, Jake packed up his life, kissed his mother
goodbye, and made his move to Hollywood. Jake's music is a raw and
unfiltered view of the lessons he learned in life, thus far.
Alliance Entertainment Group, in association with Shusett Productions
has signed Jake to management.
