La Coco Waiata Maori Music Award finalist
RELEASE
An 80s child, born in Wellilngton, Latoia Sasa-Tepania has always had chops. Despite being a shy child, she started singing in church and for whanau before she started school, then grew into a playground high-note battler. With a natural ear for picking up harmonies and rhythms, she took her teen performing experiences in clubs to the big stage, providing backing vocals for touring artists like Spawnbreezie and Stan Walker.
A past Waiata Maori Music Awards finalist, La Coco has also been nominated for Pacific Music Awards finalist, thanks to her Maori Samoan heritage.
Latest single, ‘Back When’
Hot off the heels of her successful last single ‘Waiting’, La Coco drops ‘Back When’, a banging etherial R&B hit, accompanied by a digitally animated dreamlike official video.
Speaking of the track, La Coco says, “I wrote this song thinking back to a point in time when our worlds seemed to evolve around each other, as it does when you start out with someone the honeymoon phase. I often find myself thinking back and remembering what it felt like to feel secure and feel sure in this relationship. We would spend hours in each other's company and space and it was all we wanted to do. That was all ‘Back When’ we seemed to make sense.”
