A native of Newark, New Jersey, Corey Tijuan Wilson (Ty WIlson) was born into a musical family and got his singing debut at the tender age of 5. His extensive vocal training from the accomplished Newark Boys Chorus School later afforded him acceptance to Arts High School, where he would join the ranks of superstar alums like Savion Glover and Sarah Vaughn. Capitalizing on his rare blend of fastidious training and raw talent, Ty landed several coveted opportunities to showcase his musical talents through various stage performances, live appearances, choral work and theater productions.

Ty has since traveled the world honing his craft while singing backgrounds for world-renowned artists such as Stevie Wonder, Liza Minnelli, Kathleen Battle and Ray Charles. From Australia to New Zealand, Ty’s polished, multi-octave voice and his no-nonsense work ethic have earned him the respect and praise of recording industry legends and fans alike.

Drive, determination and innovation characterize Ty and his recent works, both on stage and in the studio. Transcending genre and blending generations, his latest compositions include jazzy juke-joint grooves, bass-thumping dance floor bangers, soul-stirring anthems and sultry, sensual ballads. His new project promises a song for every type of listener, a true testament to Ty’s eclectic tastes and diverse range of influences.

Earning advanced degrees from Rutgers and New York Universities, this dynamic phenom has been known as a scholar, activist, therapist, fitness coach and model. However, with a critically acclaimed single creating an undeniable buzz in New York’s underground hot spots and a highly anticipated solo debut on the horizon, Ty is poised to walk squarely into his destiny: jack of many trades, master of the microphone.
