Kokey was only two years old when his family realized his was blind. Not long after, his parents separated, leaving him to live with his grandmother in Malabon.
He endured bullying, learned to fight himself, and carried a lot of anger in his heart.

Then he discovered rap music, which allowed him to earn some money as well as the respect he craved.
So good to see Kokey conquering the entertainment stage this time! — LA, GMA News
