FOLDS OF HONOR PRESENTS COREY KENT WHITE
It's hard to believe Corey Kent White could have over ten years of touring experience at just 21 year old, but it's true. Corey has already performed with some of the most notorious names in country musicincluding Blake Shelton, Willie Nelson, and Lee Briceand toured with Toby Keith & more. What's even more impressive, he's done all of this as a full-time student at Oklahoma State University.
In his young career, Corey's written hundreds songs & has thousands of hours of stage experience. His newest EP, Making Noise, has done exactly that. Make noise. It released in 2014 to an army of hungry fans, and has led over 80,000 downloads in the last year. Corey's been playing sold-out shows across the country ever since.
Corey's exploding career as a soulful southern artist actually began at age 11 at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa as the frontman for prodigal Western swing band, Oklahoma Stomp. His recent national success on NBC's The Voice in 2015 introduced him to a sea of new fans. He earned a coveted spot in the top 7 as the only country artist left standing. His blind audition garnered over 2 million views on YouTube alone. He has used this momentum to continue to grow his fan base around the world.
Now Corey is putting together a group of exciting new songs that will blend his soulful southern style & country roots with a high-energy, Matchbox 20-style rock. He's given his live audiences a tasteand they've thoroughly enjoyed it. This brand new music is set to release in 2016.
Above all, Corey enjoys knowing his music is connecting with people. "Hands down, the coolest feeling in music is when the entire crowd is singing the words to your song so loud that you get to stop singing and just listen & take it all in. I live for those moments."
"This journey has been unbelievable. It's taken a lot of hard work, a lot of patience, a little luck, and an enormous amount of faith. It's exhausting & discouraging at times, but honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. Nothing worth having comes easy! It takes me back when I think about the friends I've made, the shows I've played, and the fans I've met. And I'm just getting started. Thanks for listening. Thanks for letting me do what I love. I can't wait to see you at a show!" - Corey
