Beginning in a city rooted in Hip-Hop and R&B, Pop singer-songwriter Corry Michaels could be described as a concrete rose.

His blend of pop, dance, and soul is both chilling and energizing.  Michaels is now a growing force in the Midwest upon returning from his 12 date “Black and Blue Tour” in support of his 2017 debut EP Die to Me.

Emerging from the east side of Cleveland, Ohio, Michaels began learning piano in an after school/weekend program at the age of 8, before moving to a small city just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. This was where his desire to keep learning led to the beginning of his songwriting path.

      “I was so fascinated with the creative process of a song that I just wanted to create my own songs, my own albums. I wanted to just create!”

In the fall of 2013, Michaels released his first single under the alias Phoenix Ashes titled “Dark Shadow” to positive reviews and followed up with the release of “Marks” in January of 2014. Both songs and the 2014 EP “Thesis” followed the same dark electronic style of sound. Michaels would go on to release two more singles under the same alias before going on a 6-month hiatus. In the late fall of 2016, after a name change (Phoenix Ashes to Corry Michaels) Michaels resurfaced with the tropical heartbreak “GONE”. Following the lead single, Die to Me, the moody 5 - track EP was released in the summer of 2017.

In the late summer of 2018, Michaels announced that he would be embarking on the 12 date fall tour. This tour would including both headlining and opening up for acts such as Holden Laurence and Blessed Union of Souls. Michaels has since gone on to open up for acts such as The Whiskey Hollow and Aaron Carter, he is also working on a follow up to his 2017 release.
