Here’s more about Corey:
* This won’t be his first singing show. He auditioned for Season 20 of American Idol at age 20 and made it to the end of Hollywood Week.
* That said, if Idol fans blinked, they likely missed him. His audition didn’t air, and he estimates he was on TV screens for about 6 seconds. Not that you’ll hear him complaining.
* “The fact that I even made it to the end of Hollywood Week, blows my mind,” he wrote on social media. “Especially coming from a small town where there’s almost little to no opportunity. I’ll truly cherish this American Idol journey for the rest of my life.”
* Corey has also released music, though you might have to replace the e in his first name with a 3 to find it. He has five singles out, including a song called “Oh Aye” from 2021 that has more than 180,000 streams on Spotify.
* His most recent release is “Your Number,” a collaboration with Lauren Black and Bobby Crane. It was released last summer.
* Head to his Instagram and you can also check out a snippet of an original called “Devil in the Bottle.” He wrote it with Caleb Lathrop and Fritz Hager, a Top 5 finisher on Idol Season 20.
* In an interview with American Idol Unaired, Corey credits his interest in music with the fact that he was a “bored kid” growing up. So he started playing drums at age 10, piano at age 11 and guitar at age 12. He also started singing at age 12.
* When Corey was young, he and his brothers formed a Christian music group called The Young Disciples. They performed together for about three years. His brothers stopped pursuing music after that; Corey, of course, continued.
* Corey describes his music as acoustic pop with a twist of his own flavor and says his biggest inspirations are Ed Sheeran, John Mayer and Dean Lewis.
* His goal in music: “Just for someone to get something out of my music. I use the words I write in hopes of making someone smile, think or the happy times or feel better.”
* And a fun fact from his website: Corey can solve a rubik’s cube in a minute or less.
