About Cooper
Cooper is an outgoing, charming, full-of-life, 12 year old DJ from beautiful Colorado.
When Cooper was three, he hit a speed bump in life and became very sick with Kawasaki Disease. As a result of that diagnosis, he lives with a giant coronary aneurysm, which has him taking over ten medications a day. Soon after his diagnosis, he had kidney failure and found himself with stage-3 kidney failure.
That doesn't stop Cooper and the passion he has for music, people, and friends. Cooper has had the chance to DJ for MLB Allstar Game Fanfest in Denver, CO, iHeart Radio events, local 5K's, large corporate events, and co-DJ with one of the best at local Colorado State Men's Basketball games.
