America’s Got Talent breakout and Billboard-charting singer Wyn Starks welcomes summer with the release of his vibrant new single, “Coco,” out now. Serving as the second preview of his forthcoming sophomore album, the track channels an uplifting message of perseverance, confidence, and finding joy amid life’s challenges. Driven by infectious afro-fusion grooves and Starks’ soaring vocal performance, “Coco” delivers the kind of feel-good energy destined for warm-weather playlists while offering listeners another compelling look at the next phase of his artistic evolution.
“I wrote “Coco” as a reminder that no matter where you come from or what challenges you face, there is something powerful inside of you that can never be taken away,” says Wyn Starks. “The song is about finding your voice in a noisy world, holding on when life gets difficult, and recognizing that champion within yourself. I wanted to create something that feels like a celebration, a song that encourages people to embrace who they are, trust what they feel in their bones, and keep moving forward with courage and joy.”
The release arrives amid a remarkable run for the Nashville-based singer. Starks first captured national attention with his original song “Who I Am,” earning two standing ovations on America’s Got Talent, where judge Simon Cowell described the performance as “extraordinary” and predicted it could be a life-changing moment. That prediction proved prophetic when the song was later featured in the documentary I Am: Celine Dion. In one of the film’s most emotional scenes, Celine Dion, while undergoing treatment for Stiff Person Syndrome, asks her therapist to play “Who I Am” and sings along to the song, introducing Starks and his music to millions of viewers worldwide. The powerful endorsement helped propel the track to new audiences and further established Starks as a singer capable of delivering messages of hope and resilience that transcend generations. Since then, he has amassed more than 89.6 million global streams while his recent single “Pure Imagination” continues to gain traction at Hot AC radio, charting alongside artists such as Bruno Mars, Olivia Dean, and Alex Warren, further underscoring his growing presence in the contemporary pop landscape.
With “Coco,” Starks builds on a wave of momentum that has carried him from the America’s Got Talent stage to audiences around the world. Fueled by a rapidly growing fanbase, continued success at radio, and the lasting impact of Celine Dion’s public embrace of his music, the singer-songwriter is charting an exciting course toward the release of his sophomore album.
