Biography

Corey Webb I was born in 1984 December 27th in Richmond Virginia. He always had a love for music and started out singing and playing drums at church.  He went to Norfolk State University where he played in the marching band as a percussionist in the drumline while majoring in music media and mass communications. NSU is also where Cory learned how to produce an engineer audio. Things went south when Cory was set up, got involved in an armed robbery got caught and had to do five years in prison. On the 4th year his brother was murdered. This life shattering tragedy drove Cory towards music the only place he could find peace. So for years Cory created music just to improve his own mood. He fell in love with a girl named Jenja, they had kids and Cory was a devoted husband and father. Just as things were starting to even out tragedy struck his life again and his wife-to-be, the mother of his children suddenly passed away. All Cory could do was cry but one of her mantras…laugh to keep from crying… sticks with him to this day. What ended up happening was he found out he was good at making people laugh so he went on a path to make someone laugh each and every day all as a coping mechanism. All of a sudden a pandemic hit and the whole world shut down. During that time we all witnessed the murder of George Floyd which up ended the whole world. While the country was in protest of Floyd’s murder, Cory’s hard drive was stolen from him holding nine years worth of music and attempts were made on his life. It’s only by the grace of God that Cory is still alive and well today with his sanity. Cory is a love driven person that is determined to make a way by any means, and is using this time now to get back into creating again.
