Courvosier Cox, better known as Vosiey, is a triple threat: an actor, singer and comedian, destined to perform sold-out shows in LA. But first he must make it through the challenge of being 15, an exciting and tumultuous time that brings a new sense of independence along with a search for self and longing for acceptance. As he navigates this tenuous line between childhood and adulthood and between dreams and reality, he will keep searching for the spotlight, no matter what.
Update: In 2016, Courvosier Cox, 16, was arrested for over three dozen theft-related charges. In May 2017, he pled guilty to three felony charges and received a term of supervised probation + restitution.
