Hi, I'm Jocelyn Janeen Buchanan. My friends call me Joc. The Music Industry knows me as Kozii. I'm simply a people person who loves to sing, dance, entertain and just enjoys life to the fullest, no matter what.
FIRST LOVE: MUSIC Born in Tokyo Japan I came from a background of singing families on both sides Mom (Staples Family) and Dad (Buchanan Family) so it's literally in my blood. I graduated from Hyde Park Academy and received my degree in the Arts at UIC. But my strong desire for music motivated me to make law school secondary, so that I could pursue my dreams of singing and writing professionally. At the age of five, mom nurtured my gift by putting me in the church choir, in local groups and talent shows. I grew up listening to well-known artists such as Patti LaBelle, Whitney Houston, Anita Baker and Mary J Blige, to name a few. At a young age I began to work on demos, which gave me the recognition and opportunity to work in many studios, with various groups and artists. Since then, I have continued to not only sing, but also expand my abilities as a writer, producer, arranger, vocal trainer, and artist developer. I've work with major record labels and radio/television commercial advertising companies, performed in many venues local and internationally, been featured on many songs throughout the music industry and released my own material. I thank God for allowing me to cross paths with some of the world's most prominent people, and continuing to show me that his work is not in vain. I love working with positive people, with positive energy, and in positive environments period. In continuing the path of what I was put on this earth to do, my prayer is to stay grounded, never forget where I came from and reach back to help others. |
