About Cocky:
For Cocky, making music means more than just making you dance. To him, it is the key to a legitimate life. “Music means putting the bullsh*t behind me and moving toward progress, because pretty much everything else I’m good at is illegal.”

It’s a story we’ve heard before, young black boy grows up in poverty and turns to street life to make a way for himself. But this story is a little different. Growing up in Earlington, Kentucky, T. Ron Cox didn’t have a lot of options. Earlington barely has 1,500 people, 1 stop light, 1 gas station, and 1 police officer. For what it lacks in city swag and sophistication, it makes up for in closeness. “Everybody knows everybody else”, Cocky explains, “My Granny been living in the same house for 60, 70 years. She has had the same neighbors her whole life. Nobody ever left, or ventured off.”

But for Cocky, the small town life wasn’t enough. He was too curious and so he ventured off to Louisville, the big city over 100 miles away. It was in the city where he became a “country boy with a city boy swag.” He also learned the tricks of another trade that helped him lift himself out of poverty, it also brought him some hard times, like felony convictions. Until a major event caused him to reevaluate his life, “Last year, November 16th, my mother passed away. At the time, the only thing positive I had in my life was the music, she wanted to see me do that,”Cocky explains.

Even before making music, he loved music. Getting in trouble for scratching on his grandmother’s record player, is a favorite memory. Growing up in the church, Cockymakes music with melodies inspired some of his favorite artists. “I like Frankie Lymon, David Ruffin from my Granny, then Dre, Snoop, Jay Z, I like melodies, and I’m very melodic. I think Pink is dope, Nelly Furtado.” He describes his own music as coming directly from his own life, and his own experiences. “I’m just a regular street nia that listens, take constructive criticism learn from mistakes, ain’t nothing fabricated about it. I tell you sh*t that I shouldn’t even say. The music is very emotionally based, it comes from me.”
