Check Out K.O Mccoy’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to K.O Mccoy. Them and their team share their story with us below:

A lot of Marinating In the Mud or you can call it Experience.

Kortney “Ko Mccoy” Owens is an American singer-songwriter best known for her feature on Mark Morrison’s remake of “I Wanna Be Your Man” also featuring Young Buck. With 15 years in the music industry Ko can also be associated with other acts such as YO GOTTI, BUBBA SPARKS, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather, and London on the track. The young Nashville Native is also a mother of two young boys by the name of Zarius Gaines and Kendall Wright jr. Currently, Ko has won two awards for best song and best R&B act in Nashvilles Hip Hop music awards and working on her next body of music to release from her own entertainment company “Melanje’ Ent INC.” in Association with Melanje’ Management. Radio Personality on 96.7fm where she and co-host Bubba Sparxxx, Gucci Quang, interviewed multiple acts, Taj George from SWV, BANDPLAY ‘ Let the Band Play,

BMWKENNY. etc. Melanje’ Entertainment has plans to build a network of artists/creators while teaching their fellow peers to become more independent with artist consulting.

‘Give Me Something’ is K.O’s new single releasing in July 2021, following the song titled “Simple” released Jan. 2021.

With Poetic Justice vibes, 90’s r&b inspired flows, this song is sure to give you timeless feels.

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Nothing worth having comes easy.

Growing up a minority in Nashville was never smooth sailing, however K.O used those lessons and experiences to maneuver through not only the corporate world but also through the music industry. Losing cars, homes, and money didn’t mean it was time to throw in the towel for K.O, in fact it was used as fuel to keep going. For K.O believes that in life, there are no such things as failure, simply Blessings, Or Lessons.

Not to mention becoming a mother at such a young age came with its own trials, tribulations, and triumphs. From escaping death, public humiliation, and heartache. K.O believes in rising from the ashes like a phoenix.

“The older I get the more I realize no one has any idea of what they are doing and everyone is just pretending”. – Jim Carrey

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
As a Mother of two, I would have to say that’s the job I’m most proud of! I’m responsible for the foundation of a human being. How crazy exciting is that!?

9-5 vibes: I’m the operations manager for an opioid recovery clinic, believe me when I tell you, that takes a special human being like a Mom!

And last but not least, currently preparing to release a new project.

So far, Melanje’ ENT is releasing singles until K.O decides what she’s going to name the project.

New single “Give Me Something ” to be released 7/2021.

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up was pretty interesting, I’ve always been told I was an old soul, or ” You’ve been here before”, and when I was in my singing group, I was known as the bossy one! Most of my close friends and family members say I’m very sweet and have a heart of gold. I have a natural love for people. And some days, I can’t stand the human race. LOL

I’m totally into the spiritual world, I’m a Pisces, I’m slick a nerd at heart, I love reading (when I have time), canoeing, writing, working out and spending time with friends and family. Growth and development are super important to me, if I feel stagnant I panic.

Born and raised in Nashville, I spent most of my childhood at my grandparent’s farm or in church. Huge Baptist church family. Let’s just say growing up bi-racial in the south had its challenges.

As an adult, I’ve lived all over Nashville, my fav area is East Nashville (East Nasty).

My fav saying “God always takes care of his people”. Strongly believe that!

If I had a personal mission statement, it would go like this.

“Treat people how you want to be treated, and don’t expect people to do anything you wouldn’t do yourself.”

Just a southern girl living out the best of both worlds.
