At the age of 8, Coop (Cooper McGill) wrote his first song called “While You Were Gone”. At the age of 10, he recorded the song at The High School for Recording Arts in Minneapolis. The song was produced by a Minnesota rap artist known as “Kasper”.
Coop works on creating tracks and producing songs in his studio, located in Atlanta’s Artist Factory. The studio is equipped with a Mac Pro computer, featuring a 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display and loaded with music software programs like Logic, ProTools, Reason and Recycle. Coop’s studio also hosts a sound recording booth and a Novation Remote SL 61 keyboard, plus a pair of Yamaha Hs80m speakers, along with a KRK RP-10S Rokit subwoofer. .
His goal is to be a Grammy Award winning Music Producer. “I always remind myself that American Idol was turned down by every single major television network and it reminds me how wrong industry executives can be,” says Coop. “So I just stay focused, work hard and do what feels real. As for the success part, I’m trusting in the universe to decide if that’s meant to be for me.”
Cooper skipped Grade 8 and is doing Grade 9 and 10 combined, through the Independent Learning Centre (ilc.org). “Being home-schooled allows me to get through my work faster, so I can spend more time making music in my studio,” says Cooper. His goal is to graduate high school by the time he’s sixteen, so he can pursue his dream.
The following is a comment made by Chris Clancy from Interscope Records, in response to reading the lyrics to Cooper’s “While You Were Gone”. The song won the Hip-Hop category for the West Coast Song Writing Competition and made it to the semi-finals in the International Songwriting Competition.
“Pretty impressive to express a topic like this at his age. Much like Eminem, lyrics like these strike a chord that kids can relate to, as opposed to the standard girls, diamonds, and pool party stuff. I think it’s a great start and he should keep heading in that direction.”
