McCoy first took an interest in performing arts at the age of four as a dancer, where she is trained in various genres and still continues her journey as a professional dancer and performer. McCoy says, 'My journey as a dancer has taken me across stages across the country and internationally where I have grow to love every single aspect that dance offers — discipline, vulnerability, community, and self expression through movement and performance. Through the highs and lows of life, dance remained my sanctuary, where it served as a conduit for channeling emotions too profound for words.'

Along with her fire for dance, McCoy was drawn to music at eight years old as a young violinist and pianist. She began to add to her repertoire and artistic practice when she discovered a passion for singing and choir. 'My journey as a musician and singer began with humble beginnings, encouraged by the love and support of those who recognized the spark of talent within me. As I continue to navigate life, I carry with me the lessons learned upon the stage—the importance of perseverance, collaboration, and the profound impact of music in shaping the things that we do. Through music, I have found not only a passion but also a purpose, to self-discovery and fulfillment.' Says McCoy.
