COREY ANDREW & HIS BAND

About Me

Corey Andrew refuses to be assigned to the categories of Hip-Hop and R&B simply because of the color of his skin. In the tradition of eclectic black artists such as Lenny Kravitz and Seal, Corey continues to break down the stereotypes in contemporary popular music. Corey's vast musical influences include the legendary Cat Stevens, Velvet Underground, and Pink Floyd.Determined to delve into new musical directions, Corey is an artist more likely to be found setting trends rather than following them. Boasting a powerful yet smooth vocal ability, the driven performer takes pride in being a musical storyteller, finding the common thread of human existence as a basis for which to write and sing about.As a soulful tenor, Corey Andrew's voice at times is reminiscent of a young Donnie Hathaway. His dynamic stage persona and his ability to go from velvety pop music vocal deliveries to a hard edged folk-rock vocal style has garnered recent comparisons to rock legends Mick Jagger and Jimmi Hendrix. While concentrating on his recording career, Corey is in the process of launching a music company that will also focus on creating songs for motion pictures and Broadway musicals. Currently, Forgive Me, one of his most unique songs, about a friends drunken driving accident which resulted in a fatality can be heard on the soundtrack to the motion picture, Xpatriots.Additionally, Corey has lately become a much sought after featured vocalist and collaborator by some of Europes hottest dance music producers including; DaHool, Eddie Thoneick, Patric La Funk, and Dagio of the mega Italian dance label, Oxyd Records. Lookout for multiple killer dance floor releases from Corey Andrew in 2006!
