Corey Kent is an American singer who came into the spotlight in early 2015 when he participated in the 8th season of the popular American competitive singing-based reality TV show The Voice. He released a few singles over the next few months – all of which peaked within the ‘Top 50’ of the US Country music chart. He has also published self-released albums titled Long Way (May 2016) and 21 (December 2021). The former album had peaked at number 19 on the US Heat music chart. Corey’s career caught fire in late 2022 when his cover of Canadian country music artist Tyler Joe Miller’s song titled Wild as Her peaked within the ‘Top 15’ of both the US Country and US Country Airplay music charts. The cover was also certified ‘Platinum’ by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and this success prompted a bidding war between multiple record labels to sign him up. Eventually, RCA Records Nashville secured Corey’s services in August 2022.
