ARE YOU AN ASPIRING SINGER, SONGWRITER OR CREATIVE WRITING ARTIST?
(New openings in January 2023)
LaForrest holds an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and Literary Translation from Queens College of the City University of New York, where she also majored in English and graduated cum laude. Currently, she is an instructor at Queens College, and at The School of Arts and Sciences in the English, as well as, The Performing and Fine Arts departments at York College/CUNY.
Burnin’ up the Billboard charts with four top-five songs in two years, LaForrest Cope’s explosive talent has helped launch several careers, most notably, Whitney Houston’s.
The fiery “YOU GIVE GOOD LOVE” earned LaForrest (a/k/a LALA) a Grammy Award for Best R&B Song nomination while giving Whitney her first #1 hit single. Professor Cope works privately with professional and pre-professional recording artists as a vocal producer and vocal coach.
Based on her own experiences in the recording industry, she hopes to make her literary debut with SOULSHAKER, a creative nonfiction memoir confronting the cost of being a crossover artist and the challenges facing women in music.
