Coppe Cantrell is a Los Angeles-raised singer, songwriter, producer, businesswoman, and philanthropist.
She’s making significant waves in both the mainstream and Gospel music charts with her powerful sound, which skillfully crosses multiple genres: Gospel, Soul, and Hip Hop into something truly unique. The sixth of eleven siblings, Coppe (pronounced Copy) brings an authentic music industry pedigree, working behind the scenes with her late husband, the legendary West Coast pioneer, and multi-platinum producer, Johnny “J.” Coppe was there from the beginning of his 2Pac / Death Row Records era and she documented it all.
Coppe’s music is blessed with a crossover appeal that has earned her positions on both Mediabase mainstream charts and Christian music platforms. The single “My Daddy” showcases Coppe’s signature style – a bold fusion of Gospel funk “for my daddy in the sky, wave ‘em high,” backed with a fire bassline driven Johnny “J” beat that slaps like a pot of 90s gold. It’s also contemporary, uplifting, and catchy. She’s showing us how to floss by the grace of God. The track is currently climbing the Mediabase charts at #45, her previous single “Dance in the Dark,” reached #31 on Top 40, following several #1 positions worldwide.
Coppe was married to Johnny “J” (Johnny Lee Jackson) for 17-years and was integral to their KLOCK WORK Entertainment Corp, managing business operations while contributing vocally to tracks. Following the tragic loss of her husband in 2008, Coppe experienced a spiritual transformation that led to her receiving what she describes as “the gift of singing” during a profound spiritual experience in 2009. She’s developing a documentary about Johnny’s life, musical legacy, and unreleased collaborations between Johnny and 2Pac, and a number of iconic musical legends.
