ABOUT CORY HENRY

World-renowned artist, composer, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and all-around keyboard master Cory Henry was born to be a musician. Picking up the organ at age two and becoming a permanent fixture of his church’s choir by five, it wasn’t long before he was sharing the stage with the likes of Ms. Lauryn Hill, Quincy Jones, and The Roots, and winning a Grammy Award as a vital part of the instrumental collective Snarky Puppy. Cory has made a name for himself as a vocalist, instrumentalist, and writer for icons spanning generations, but his work at the helm of his own band, Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles, is what shot him into superstardom. Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles are known for consistently enchanting live performances, and their viral NPR Tiny Desk show is a testament to this. NPR’s All Things Considered raved that Henry “can glide through just about any song on the Hammond with the ease of someone taking the family car out for a Sunday drive.” With over 100 million aggregated YouTube views, the Brooklyn-born and LA-based “future soul” maestro’s far-reaching impact is undeniable.
