Early life
Corey Paul was born on March 10, 1987, as Corey Paul Davis, in Houston, Texas.

Corey was raised by his mother and his stepfather, who eventually became a crack cocaine addict. At the age of six his father beat and burned his mother with an iron, and by the age of eight he witnessed his mother shoot his father in self-defense. When Corey was nine his father hung himself in an attic after a long battle with addiction.

As a teenager Corey embraced the street culture, party life and Houston's "chopped and screwed" music scene. Eventually he realized that even if he gained all of it, it wouldn't change the pain, poverty or hopelessness that his family and neighborhood dealt with on a daily basis. It was at this moment Corey decided to trust God and in 2010 he started "Frontline Media Group", a record label that creates and promotes music with a message of hope, positivity and a belief in something greater than the struggle.
