A diligent and creative artist, Hamid has envisioned the release of seven captivating songs on major streaming platforms since last year, collaborating with his talented younger sister, Dr. Rubina Cocker as the lyricist and the seasoned composer George Petersen from Cats Paw Records.
The artist’s musical voyage traces back to his school days when the electrifying tunes of Rock and Roll dominated the airwaves.

Hamid’s debut album, self-titled “Hamid Cocker,” was launched in May 2022 and comprises three captivating songs: “Unforgettable Love,” “The Departed,” and “Ya Vas Lublu.” The album has received a resounding positive response, becoming fan favorites among his dedicated followers.
Adding a festive touch, Hamid released two Christmas songs, “Christmas in New York” and “Christmas Will Be Here,” towards the end of the year, further showcasing his musical versatility.
With a goal to release a song every two to three months, Hamid and his team prioritize the richness of lyrics and the relatability of the story they tell to move audiences through their craft.
