'Coro' is a
Latin freesyle singer and actor of
Dominican heritage, who first had roles in numerous episodes of the star's hit
television series, ''
Miami Vice''. While appearing on ''Vice'', Coro struggled to put together a group to get his singing career off the ground. His first efforts never took off, but in 1987, Coro met freestyle sensation
Stevie B, who was enjoying the success of his first hit record and getting ready to
tour. After a stint as a backup
vocalist and
dancer for Stevie B, the
New York-born and
Miami-raised Coro made the move back to his native
Manhattan to initiate a solo singing
career.
Success came quickly to Coro as he hooked up with freesyle music producers
Zahid Tariq and
Todd Terry in 1989, and found the creative partners he had been searching for. The result was the release of Coro's first
single, "Where Are You Tonight", an emotional, uptempo freestyle track which soon became the #1 dance record in New York and
Florida. The song reached the Top 25 on
Billboard's club chart and put Coro on the road doing shows in
dance clubs across the country. On his
self-titled debut album, Coro
collaborated with
producer Zahid Tariq to create a selection of uptempo dance tunes like "Can't Let You Go", "Where are you tonight", "Fallen Angel" and tender, emotive
ballads such as "Missing You", all of which have the distinct Latin flavor that has come to be Coro's musical signature.
Since then, Coro is currently in the
studio working with numerous producers and focused on reentering the world of
television and
movies.
