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.”

15 Reasons I Didn’t Listen to Your Music.
On January - 3 - 2010
95% of the music I receive is deleted without ever being listened to. Why? Outside of the fact that I get 300-700 records sent to me each week via Email, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Its just impossible for me to listen to every song I receive and still find time for my family and work. In an effort to increase the amount of material I listen to I have outlined “15 Reasons I didn’t listen to your music” in hopes that you will shape up

Rapper T.I. Launches a Day Care!
On October - 5 - 2007
Believe me, I was just as surprised as you to find out that Atlanta rap mogul, T.I., was opening his first of a string of daycare facilities. It’s been a hell of a year for the rapper who has been an undeniable force on both the charts and in the box office. Grand Hu$tle Child Care promises to stand apart from other child care providers by being a 24 hour program catering to low income families. T.I. has made it very clear that he will not be a passive investor in the facility, but will participate in the day to day care of the children (feeding, changing diapers and all). In fact, the entire Grand Hu$tle roster including Young Dro, Big Kuntry, and Super producer Khao will be on staff teaching and caring for the children. This move by the self proclaimed King of the South has prompted other rappers to follow suit. Young Jeezy has also decided to give back to the community by teaching an after school tutoring program at Martin Luther King Jr. High School…
