HOSTED BY HER NONPROFIT CAMP COURAGE AT HORIZONS FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN IN BOSTON, MA
NEW YORK, NY (November 22, 2023) – Following an incredible year, multi-platinum GRAMMY nominated recording artist Coi Leray is pouring into her community this Holiday season. She returned to her hometown Boston, MA to host a giveback event through her nonprofit Camp Courage with the students and parents of Horizons for Homeless Children.
Nearly 200 students and their families received a chance to meet Coi Leray and partake in a family-friendly dance party. Coi and her team also provided nut-free, fall-themed snacks, and activities including face painting, pumpkin painting, and a Thanksgiving coloring station. She also donated educational items to give away to children as part of the event. Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, this event will allow students at Horizons to participate in an integral part of Horizons’ mission—play—so they can focus on being kids.
Earlier this month, Coi Leray received her first ever GRAMMY nominations. The breakthrough artist scored two nominations in “Best Rap Performance” for her massive hit “Players” and “Best Pop Dance Recording” for “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne Marie.
Coi Leray consistently asserts herself as an elite musician, dynamite vocalist, massive personality, and boundary-breaking superstar without comparison or rival. Born in Boston, raised in New Jersey and based in Los Angeles, the multiplatinum GRAMMY nominated force of nature has captivated without compromise. Coi has served up a string of anthems from her debut album TRENDSETTER, including the double-platinum “No More Parties,” gold-certified “Big Purr (Prrrd)” [feat. Pooh Shiesty], the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 hit “Blick Blick” [with Nicki Minaj], and the viral “TWINNEM.” Coi has also earned her first Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 with her highest charting single to date “Players’‘ landing at #9. It’s taking over social media with popular remixes such as ”Players (David Guetta Remix),” ”Players (Tokischa Remix),” “Players (DJ Smallz 732 Jersey Club Remix),” “Players (DJ Saige Remix),” and “Players (DJ Saige Remix)” feat. Busta Rhymes. Together they set TikTok on fire with a staggering 10 billion views and nearly 3 million video creates as the success simultaneously translated to streaming platforms. It’s also dominating the radio with three consecutive weeks at #1 on Rhythmic Radio, #1 on Urban Radio, #1 on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs Chart, and #6 on Billboard’s Radio Chart. This set the stage for her critically acclaimed full-length album, Coi, which arrived in June 2023. Coi Leray continues to cross-over into other genres with the hit song “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” with David Guetta and Anne-Marie. Then there’s her blockbuster R&B anthem “Self Love” with Metro Boomin which was a highlight on the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack. All of this incredible momentum inspired by the music led to Coi receiving her first ever GRAMMY nominations in 2023 with “Players” for Best Rap Song and “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” for Best Pop Dance Performance. Between generating billions of streams and views, she has infiltrated every corner of culture, appearing on XXL’s coveted Freshman Class cover, performing on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, starring as the face of the SKIMS “Cozy Collection” by Kim Kardashian West, collaborations with major fashion brands such as Kenzo, Moschino, Fendi By Marc Jacobs, YSL Beauty, as well as guesting on Slime Language 2, which bowed at #1 on the Billboard 200. Coi Leray’s reach continues to expand thanks to collaborations with everyone from Calvin Harris, RAYE, K Pop’s TOMORROW X TOGETHER and more. Beyond a slew of magazine covers and nominations at the GRAMMY’s, American Music Awards, BET Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards, to name a few, she has incited critical acclaim from New York Times and Billboard to E! Online and more. As a powerhouse performer in her own right, she has shined at Beyonce’s Rennaissance World Tour (LA), Rolling Loud, Lollapalooza Festival, Governors Ball and more. Still, she keeps pushing forward. The crown belongs to Coi as she skyrockets with her new EP, Blue Moon, and much more to come.
