Cocopraise

My name is Cocopraise, but you can easily call me Cocopraise.

I am an 100% Original Italian Brain. Born and Raised in the South of Italy … and, of course, I’ve been developed by Bello di Mamma.

I LOVE Music, I DO Radio and I LOVE Coding. In fact, I started working at a radio station when I was 12 years old, and since then, radio has always been like my girlfriend.

I got experience as Sound Desk Operator, Speaker, Dj, Journalist, Radio Producer, and Sound Manager.

Driven by my passion for IT and coding, I ventured into the fascinating world of the internet around 1998. Naturally, I began testing (experimenting) with online broadcasting, which led to the creation of one of the first Italian internet radio stations—what we in Italy now call a Web Radio.

In 2005, I founded the leading Italian association representing both commercial and non-profit Internet radio stations. This association engages with the Regulator and Competition Authority for the communication industries in Italy, music rights organizations, broadcasting authorities, stakeholders, and European regulators.

In recent years, I have focused on online copyright, European legislation on online regulation, Italian TV and radio broadcasting laws, and all legal matters related to radio and TV broadcasting. However, I felt like something was missing.
