About
Isa Yélamo-Cockcroft
Spotted Rocket Publishing was started by composer and flutist, Nicole Chamberlain, and remains a one gal operation. Spotted Rocket publishes original compositions and arrangements for voice and orchestral instruments.
Welcome our latest addition Isa Yélamo-Cockcroft (they/she/he) as part of our support team! Isa lends a helping hand whenever we need them. You’ll probably run into Isa at our booth when Nicole is running around like a chicken with her head cut off. What a relief to have Isa on the team!
They are a Venezuelan-American composer and performer native to Atlanta, Georgia, USA. They are a student at Tennessee Tech University, where they currently study composition with Dr. Griffin Candey. Learn more about Isa and their music here: https://www.isayelamocomusic.com/
Spotted Rocket Publishing was named after Nicole's dog, Jesse (1999-2007). Jesse got the nickname from a vet who commented on Jesse's physic saying he bet Jesse ran like a rocket. Indeed he did, a Spotted Rocket! Jesse is no longer with us, but still watches over the daily operations.
After the loss of Jesse, Sam (2007-2012) was hired to take on the post. Even though he was deaf, he loved being around his musician friends. He liked them better when they would stop playing their instruments and rub him.
Annie (2008-2021) had taken up the mundane duties of distractions and security. Don't be fooled, even though Annie was not a dalmatian, she did have her spots and she could run FAST!
Gerty (2013-Present) showed up on our doorstep in October of 2013. Lost and neglected, she was just a puppy - much like Annie when we found her. Gerty's resemblence to Sam kept us from turning her away. Annie and Gerty became fast friends, and we couldn't help but make her a part of our family. Follow her on instagram: @ComposerDog
