Today we’d like to introduce you to Mini Coops.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Since birth in Miami Florida I’ve been on this journey with the arts from dancing in the elementary at R.R.Moton Performing Arts School trained by Avice Warren to climbing the chart at 9-10 years old dancing for NBA Miami heat Jr jam Troupe and NL Marlin Minnows Dance team both Directed by Jose Guerrero to Singing in the South Florida boys and girls choir directed by Angela Green and Landing a leading role on 4 times plus Grammy-nominated artist Rick Ross video “Aston Martin Music Video taking another step in 2013 I moved Atlanta from Miami when I was 12 years old with the passion to succeed majorly in the arts. I took my talents to a dance studio and got accepted into their company but they weren’t accepting scholarships and monthly tuition was expensive so I took my talents to Instagram and made a platform to gain over 200,00 at the age of 14,15 years old. Got discovered and offered a scholarship to join this majorette company Deja’vu purple dancerettes owned by Jennifer Farris Melchor and became captain shortly after. Where I won three captain solos in a row. Growing my love for the arts and wanting to expand I transitioned to an industry dancer training under Kiki Ely and Sakinah Lestage for two cycles at their former company “AtlaEntertainmentStudios “ pushing myself to really future other gifts I was blessed with to be inspired by Miami Artist Mike Smiff to become the Rapper I am today by displaying my testimony and how I grew up. With stage presence influenced by Janet Jackson, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj and more.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t always been a smooth road. In the process, you experience a lot of delays and reroutes. Where some people or plans you start with don’t always make it to the end, God replaces to elevate. Things God sees that you don’t see to where a pit stop in the road trip of life happens where we have to lessen the load before we take off. Also just in the trial and error process where you learn from the mistakes and charge it to the game as a gem to keep with you for life.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am an artist, writer, performer, and choreographer. I specialize in Performing and Recording. I’m known for my infamous energy and personality through stage presence. I’m most proud of pushing myself to became a better me no matter what I’ve been through in life. I use my passion for the arts to escape from things I may go through in life. What sets me apart from others is that I’m passionate in the things I do. It’s truly my gift on earth it’s something I was put on earth to do to inspire others. Encouraging everyone they CAN do it no matter what their life looks like now.
Have you learned any interesting or important lessons due to the Covid-19 Crisis?
I learned through the Covid crisis to find myself again. To stand tall through whatever your facing. Really having to have strong faith through hard times and knowing my current situation isn’t my final destination on this road trip to life.
