Corey Mekell

with Corey and watch videos all the time, and she'd find him kicking to the beat at times as well!! Corey's grand-

mother instilled a gospel upbringing in his life where he was definitely raised in the church, and sang in the

youth choir, also president of his youth choir. Corey has always had a passion for music, he would be the

child out of six cousins growing up together to somehow always come up missing, but where ever you found

a speaker with any sort of tune, there you would find Corey. At the age of 10 yrs old Corey lost his grandmother

but stayed strong as he could through the difficult time to continue singing, knowing that it would get him some

where eventually, he continued to strive for his longtime dream. Dealing with many ups and many "let downs" around

the age of 17 Corey caught his first break, he attended an Omarion promo concert in Smyrna,GA of his senior

yr in high school. V-103 promoted the show at BestBuy, Corey was called on stage to sing, and blew the audience away

shortly after getting off stage he met his then manager Frank (Big Frank) Hagans. They established a very close relationship

and to make as much happen as quickly as possible. Corey was very excited about finally getting into the industry, but

had to find out the hard way that dreams just don't happen over night. Corey was placed in a male R&B group that went

on to perform for many different artist, execs, and producers from all around. Unfortunately the group disbanded in, and

since then Corey has went on to continue pursuing his career as a solo artist signed to an independent label (Kool Team Ent) gearing up for the release

of his first official mixtape (Broken Silence 10/20/09) and soon after his debut album.
