If you've been anywhere near a decent club in the past 12 months, Claire "Coco" Hayek has spoken to you, likely more than once. She is the driving force behind North American smash club hits ‘Analemma-I Will Follow You’ and ‘Miss You’ and is one of this country's most soughtafter artists.

The best way to describe Coco's music, whether she is writing, singing, mashing or performing it, is pure and uncomplicated. Coco's latest hypnotic track 'Miss you' (Hi-Bias 2010) peaked at no. 9 on UK's Upfront Club chart. Co-written with the hot duo Blond:ish and the equally hot Brazilian DJ/Producer Robson Vidal, 'Miss you' was also released on the compilation Canada's Finest House 2 and DJ Criss Wave remix of the track was featured on Paul Van Dyke's Vonic sessions.

Coco also worked with famed Montreal DJ Yovan, on their hit ‘Analemma-I Will Follow You’ (Kult Records 2008) that was played and supported by DJs worldwide. With her songs playing on radios coast-to-coast, Coco is making waves in the US, beginning with Los Angeles (voted top 10 most requested artists on WOS Radio) and not ending anywhere soon.

In 2010, Coco was voted ‘Best Up and Coming Producer’ and ‘Best Provincial Female Artist’, ‘Best Provincial Pop Album’ for 2009 (by ‘Toronto Exclusive Magazine’). She was declared an ‘Artist to Watch’ by Skope Magazine and she received a ‘Grindie Award’ from Radio Indy for her CD ‘Intention’. Coco has been a guest on numerous shows and stations coast to coast, including Radio Canada, Radio Centre-Ville and Vancouver COOP Radio. She has played the Vancouver City Limits, the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Fest, Montreal’s Festival du monde Arabe, and countless other events from East to West.

Coco has a history few artists share. A victim of war and forced to leave her place of birth, she came to Canada as a child, where she was raised to believe she could accomplish anything. And that she did. Multilingual, educated, with a drive to succeed - and a drive to help others succeed – Coco started her own label (IDEK Records). She manages her music the way she manages her life: on her own terms, producing music that she knows people will love, without two or three or five middle-men telling her any different. Her music goes directly from her to you – and judging by her success, that is exactly how the public wants it.
