Friday Asian: CoCo Lee

CoCo Lee, née Ferren Lee, was born in Hong Kong on the 17th of January 1975. Although she was born in Hong Kong, CoCo was raised in San Francisco where she grew up with her mother, stepfather and two older sisters (her father passed away when she was young). She shared her singing talent with her two older sisters and her mother, who was a doctor.

"I also combined the R&B feel with the pop music of Taiwan...I wanted to bring the R&B flavor and other Westernized sounds to my music, because that's the type of music I grew up listening to." -CoCo Lee
Although she has had enormous success outside US shores, she has yet to break the Billboard charts -- but don't hold your breath because her music label is about to heavily promote their budding star.

To give CoCo a grade just post a comment with your grade and opinion about here (the opinion is optional).
