I want us to be on a continuum, riding a legacy of artists who did something good with their music. I'm writing through my pain, shame and success. It’s all in my music, anything anyone needs to know about me, is in my music. If you listen to it, or meditate on the lyrics, you will get a piece of my heart. More than I could bear to tell in person.” In 2011, Corey founded an entertainment and lifestyle company, Galactic Soul LLC, which manages and produces music artists, fashion designers, and filmmakers.
