COREE

Biography-Coree Richards has always been on the forefront of the British Urban music scene. After being with the hugely successful Damage for nearly ten years, Coree is now creating a buzz with his solo material With numerous top ten hits including "Love II Love" and "Forever" and the hugely successful ‘’Ghetto Romance’’ (which is still often heard at many of the top clubs today), as well as sell out tours across Europe, Damage cemented themselves as one of the biggest Urban acts the UK has produced. Their self-titled debut album was released in spring 1997, along with two further UK Top 10 singles - "Love Guaranteed" and a cover version of Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight", the latter reaching number 3. After an extensive touring schedule Damage returned to the UK music scene in spring 2001 with their Cooltempo Records' début, "Since You've Been Gone". As one of the prominent figures of the band together with Jade Jones (partner of Spice Girl Emma Bunton) and a voice which created the distinctive Damage sound, Coree has all of the tools and indeed the following to emulate and surpass the success of Damage. He recently appeared on radio 1 with Trevor Nelson, and will be supporting US sensation Neo in Bournemouth later in the month. As well as being busy in the studio Coree is also doing numerous interviews for TV and press on his experiences during and after Damage. With his much anticipated single ‘Blue Skies’ due out soon and an album later in the year, Coree Ricahrds will be the hottest name this summer.
