COKU MUSIC was founded by veteran music biz execs
Johhny Coppola and Jeff Peters.

JOHNNY COPPOLA

Johnny Coppola began his music business carreer at Columbia Records in 1989 as Manager of Dance Music promotion. From 1989 to 1998, he worked with some of the biggest names in music such as Mariah Carey, Tony Bennett, George Michael and LL Cool J. He was instumental in helping to launch artists such as Third Bass, Diana King, Cypress Hill, Jamiroquia and Fiona Apple. Johnny would eventually work his way up the ladder to Vice President of Promotion for Columbia's Work Group label. Moving to Capitol records in 1998, he had the pleasure of working with Garth Brooks, Tracie Spencer, St. Germaine and Kylie Minogue to name a few. Deciding he needed a change from the routine of promoting artists and the contant pressure of a high level executive position at a major label, he began writing and producing his own original material in 2001. "Hollywood Indigo" is his first release as a writer, producer and perfomer. His original composition, "I've Been In Love", was selected to be in and as the end title credit song in the upcoming Miramax film, "Comic Book; The Movie". Johnny lives in L.A. and will be performing several dates in the area beginning January 30th at Bar 5 at Amalfi. We'll keep you posted on all upcoming events.
