WELCOME TO THE DIRTY RIVER DOJO Raised in the trailer parks and project housing of Gadsden, Alabama, particularly Walnut Park, Coosa witnessed the harsh realities of poverty, addiction, and loss.
His visuals capture the essence of his upbringing - a world shaped by drug dealers, bikers, bartenders, and pool hustlers. It's a world that straddled the ghetto and the country, a duality reflected in Coosa's musical influences: T.I., Lil Wayne, Jamey Johnson, and Hank Williams Jr.
Seeking a brighter future, Coosa moved to Nashville, Tennessee. There, he traded the grit of the streets for the hustle of the music scene. With an unwavering work ethic, he didn't just pursue music; he helped build it. Coosa honed his skills under the tutelage of Alexander King, learning the art of engineering, production, and songwriting. His dedication extended beyond the studio, as he helped construct numerous recording spaces in Nashville.
