Shortly after her birth the young family moved back to San Francisco in the United States, where she grew up. After a couple of years her mother started working for the United Nations which often forced the family to move to different places. Back in 1995 McCoy was already the singer of a dance-track called "Push me to the Limit", by Celvin Rotane and "Love Is My Whole World" by 4Tune in 1996. A year later she did vocals for a commercial in the studio of Ralf Kappmeier, one of Sash's producers, who asked her to sing on their forthcoming album "It's My Life". As La Trec she sang and co-wrote the album tracks "Sweat", "Hoopstar" and the hit "Stay". The name La Trec was derived from a character in a book.
