LONG BIO
Cory Michael is a country musician from West Texas, who has made his home in Nashville. While music was an early love, the country part came later. His music career was inspired early when he’d listen to his parents’ music; Elvis’ “Heartbreak Hotel”, Billy Holiday’s “Blue Moon”, and Gene Chandler’s “Duke of Earl” played on repeat. In high school Cory was the drummer for a Christian praise and worship band he started with some friends. After high school a few of those band members stuck together and started a Christian rock band, Soulstrum.
Cory and Soulstrum parted ways, launching Cory’s transition from drums to guitar and launching his solo career. He began writing songs and found his passion for making his own music. Despite his Texas roots, Cory didn’t find country music until later on and he fell in love with music all over again. He related to country music. It was real life, and that was inspiring.
In 2014, Cory launched his solo career with his original song “Your Man” which made the Texas Top 100 charts, peaking at #63 (Texas Regional Radio Report, TRRR). He hit the road to promote the song and his hard work paid off and Cory went on to open for performers such as Mark Chesnutt, Gary Alan, Tyler Farr, Dustin Lynch, Chris Young, Cody Johnson, Chris Jansen, Randy Rogers, Wade Bowen, Cory Morrow and Easton Corbin.
In 2017, Cory moved his home to Nashville to be closer to the country music scene. He’s been working hard and pushing out original music with five singles in the last two years, three of which were released in 2019. And there’s more on the way. A little bit rock and a lot a bit country, Cory delights fans with a solid mix of upbeat tunes sure to make you want to roll your windows down and turn the speakers up.
