Profile
Coco Roussel was born in Paris, France, and worked extensively with such groups as Heldon & Clearlight Symphony Orchestra, among others, before moving to the U.S.A. in 1976 and establishing residence in Washington, D.C. After a short while, Coco got connected with the Arista recording group Happy the Man, which really opened new career opportunities, among them a long and extensive musical collaboration with Kit Watkins, keyboardist of the famed Happy the Man. Coco then moved to Los Angeles in 1987, and performed with such artists as Michael Manring, David Arkenstone, Winston Steward, Jeanne Tatum and Carole Diamond.
