Back-story: Can Cool, was born Derrick Bledsoe, in the southern “scenic city” of Chattanooga, TN. This young phenom began rapping at 6 years old releasing his first single, “Meet Me On the Playground” at the same age, which became a local anthem for the area kids. Known at that time as “Lil Derrick,” his metamorphosis into “Can Cool” should come as no surprise. Time and time again, the multi-faceted talent has proven not only his remarkable skills as a rapper, singer, dancer, producer, songwriter and actor, but his charismatic personality will herald him both commercial and transatlantic success.

A consummate professional, Can Cool has worked diligently over the years to perfect every aspect of his career. He has logged more hours in the studio than in the park. Rocking every show and having won or made the cut for every audition or contest he’s entered. With the encouragement and support of his father, the intellectually sharp teenager is currently being home schooled due to his in-demand performance schedule.

Can Cool, with his boy-next-door good looks, has won the hearts of his female audience while the guys envy his impressive footwork and lyrical prowess. He recently released his 1st single “We Lit” rapidly expanding his fan-base and is also working on his EP.

Influenced by TI, the brilliant whiz kid is constantly recording new music like his new HIT SINGLE “Finna Go Crazy” released to Urban Radio this past july with great support and feedback.

Exhibiting a star’s work ethic, Can Cool knows rehearsing is all in an effort to creatively influence the world one day soon.
