“Earn Yo Sleep” is the motto Grammy & Emmy Award winning singer-songwriter, Cocoa Sarai lives by. Raised in a musical family, Cocoa has worked with Grammy Award-winning artists and producers such as Dr. Dre, Anderson .Paak, Busta Rhymes and many more. Lending her song-writing skills to television’s Academy Award-winning director Lee Daniels, Cocoa has been performing since the age of two. Citing Mary J Blige, Tina Turner and Lauryn Hill as her biggest influences, inspired by her West Indian heritage, her church roots & her love for hip-hop, this Brooklyn, NY-bred, Jamaican-American songstress with three independent albums under her belt is establishing herself as a creative force to take note of. After relocating to Los Angeles in 2018, Cocoa began working with producer and mogul Dr. Dre’s legendary Aftermath Records, which resulted in her meeting superstar Anderson .Paak. Building off of their creative chemistry, Sarai eventually contributed to eight of the 14 Songs found on the “Am I Wrong” artist’s 2018 album OXNARD & even dropped a rap verse on the Dr. Dre-featured “Mansa Musa” She also lended her vocals and pen to Paak’s latest album VENTURA, which is up for Album of the Year for the 62nd Annual Grammy’s Awards. “It was fun,” says the former contestant from hit show The Four, when discussing her experience working with the “Malibu” artist. “I got to be myself.” Currently splitting her time between songwriting and finishing her upcoming project.
