MEET THE BAND!
CORY JAMES
LEAD VOCALS:
Cory grew up with the joy of music from the early age of 4. Instead of asking for toys, he would ask for albums by classic rock and heavy metal bands, which ultimately sparked interest in becoming a musician like many of his relatives as far back as his Great-Grandfather. Cory dabbled with drums and piano at age 8 and later singing and playing bass with some friends around age 13. It was at age 14, he began singing for the original rock band “Azreal” in the local bar and club circuit and continued his music journey through the present day. He is proud to see his children following in his footsteps and hopes to one day see them up on the stage and even possibly share it with them.
