Coco & Breezy are an American DJ duo, consisting of identical twin sisters Corianna ("Coco") and Brianna ("Breezy") Dotson (born August 4, 1990).
Early life
[edit]Corianna and Brianna Dotson were born on 4 August 1990.[1] They were raised in Apple Valley, Minnesota and are of African American and Puerto Rican descent. After graduating high school, the sisters moved to New York City with just $1,000.[2]
In 2009, at the age of 19, the sisters founded their sunglasses company, Coco & Breezy.[3] Based in the United States,[4] the brand gained recognition for its unique designs, which have been worn by high-profile celebrities such as Prince, Kelly Osbourne, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj[5] and Serena Williams.[6] In April 2012, Adidas announced that they would be enlisting the design help of the sisters in their "Originals White Space Project."[7][8]
Music career
[edit]After several years of building their fashion brand, Coco & Breezy turned their focus to music,[9] releasing their own material and performing at prominent events such as Electric Daisy Carnival, Lightning In A Bottle and Coachella.[10] They have supported artists including MK, Fatboy Slim, Thundercat, Chromeo, Channel Tres and Sofi Tukker.[11][12]
