ABOUT COCHISE
Cochise cuts through the distractions of modern life and the chaos of the internet to make music that is playful, organic—and alive. He has an omnivorous appetite for different sounds and styles, and vibrates on the right digital frequencies to connect with fans across the globe with ease. But the 24-year-old rapper and producer from Palm Bay, Florida, is also blessed with the instinct and ability to place his work firmly in a cultural lineage and to stay grounded in relatable human emotions. His recent single “LONG WAY,” and his sophomore album, THE INSPECTION, demonstrate this adaptability and mastery of mood, something that’s been part of his DNA since he was growing up. Born to a mom from Jamaica and a father from Barbados, Cochise’s youth in their Palm Bay home was filled with reggae, gospel, and old-school rap. While he remembers early phases making songs fondly, he didn’t start taking things seriously until high school, when the desire to pursue music “finally attacked” his brain. Once it did, things moved quickly, from 2018’s Pulp and its sibling EP, Hijack, to a series of singles that confirmed him as a gifted stylist. It was his 2021 debut album, Benbow Crescent, which flits from punishing low ends to dazzling falsettos without skipping a single one of Cochise’s rhythmically sophisticated beats. Now with release of his latest album THE INSPECTION, he seems destined to be that rarest of artists: a true innovator who can reach a mass audience.
