In celebration of her debut album TRENDSETTER, Platinum superstar Coi Leray dazzles on the May cover of PAPER Magazine. Titled, “The Evolution of Coi Leray” the story zooms in on her mental health, tour rider, and her ingenuity as an artist and business mind at the helm of her production company, Trendsetter Studios. Read the full article written by Kathy Iandoli with photos by Charlotte Rutherford HERE.
The article reads, “From her debut album’s title to her name on Zoom, Coi Leray is a Trendsetter. “Trendsetter is being yourself,” she tells us. “You don’t really have to start the trend to set the trend. There’s trends that people carry and do it 10 times better.””
Coi Leray is set to kick off her first headlining tour in San Francisco on May 31 at the Regency Ballroom. The tour will make its way across major markets throughout the U.S., including Chicago, Atlanta, DC and more, with a final stop in Los Angeles on June 23 at The Novo. Fans can access tickets HERE.
In addition to her headline tour, 2022 will also see Coi performing at festivals including Rolling Loud Portugal, Governor’s Ball, Lollapalooza Festival, Metro Metro Festival, Veld Music Festival, and Ilesoniq Music Festival.
