YEL 041 - ADVERSITIES, TRIALS & TRIUMPHS (INTERVIEW WITH DAVID CORREY)

Born in Brazil and raised in a small American town, David Correy has a voice that captivates people, and a musical talent that syncs you into an inner rhythm. He did show promise even as a young child with ADD, but his beguiling performances took years of training, study, and self discovery.

 

David reached his status as an acclaimed recording artist by following his Mom’s advice: "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." So he dreamt big and head out on the narrow and arduous path to greatness. It wasn’t easy. And there’s a lot of pain. But the journey was more valuable than any destination. Learn more about what it took David to become a finalist on the second season of Fox's reality competition series The X Factor and now CEO of Urban Rock Records.
