Georgia Born & Raised

"I've been singing & writing all my life, when all that was important to me , was that I could sing, if just for myself & write in my journal. Writing has always been my first passion – It has always been my escape. I noted & doodled on everything. Poetry challenged me, but the songs; gave me freedom to express myself."

Cole's love of expression thru words & melodies later turned into a love to perform with the extent of a gift that she didn't realize would move her into becoming Cole Jonique .....

Cole writes from real experiences -experienced with the heart & mind. Everyone relates to happiness, hurt, blissful moments & even history of disappointments.

Someone - somewhere, of all walks of life can relate to the artist that is Cole Jonique- bold, sassy, simple, complex, yet lovable at all stages of personality.

" There is nothing like the access to your imagination. Creativity is release."

“ Creativity is more than imagination
