Corey Wallace a.k.a Coreysan has been involved in music since 1987. This self-taught musician’s musical explorations are as diverse as Trinidad and Tobago, his homeland.

As a Trinidadian musician/artiste, observing his global/universal nature, Coreysan continues to expand upon the scope of multicultural influences available in the Caribbean with the musical culture of both the modern and old worlds, through the fusion of live and electronic elements that find a common ground in his music.

He creates music that reaches out to all walks of life, conjuring different ways of projecting a universal message that is mysterious and adventurous, yet digestible by all. He calls this music “Electronic Caribbean World Fusion”

Coreysan has produced, arranged, recorded and mastered two CD albums, Coreysan (2004) and Light and Shadow (2006) at Khongharhee studios, his bedroom studio in Tacarigua, Trinidad.

These two CDs feature his original compositions including collaborations with Trinidadian poets and a special collaboration with international recording artiste Remo Fernandes (Goa, India) who graciously played the Indian bamboo flute on the instrumental Track “Varem” (Coreysan 2004).

Coreysan performed for the first time out of his homeland in February 2008, as a solo artiste at the 12th Millennium Music Conference (MMC 12) held in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania where he left a lasting impact with his Electronic Caribbean World Fusion.

In August 2008, he also had the opportunity to open for the Trinidadian Rapso/World Fusion band “3 Canal” at their concert held at The Cobden, London, England while they were on their European Summer Tour 2008 of France, Belgium and England.

Then, in March 2009, Coreysan had the honour of being selected to perform at South by South West 2009 held in Austin, Texas which presented yet another opportunity for him to showcase his work on an international stage. Those present at the showcase thoroughly enjoyed Coreysan’s “off the beaten track” performance, so much that he is planning to do a follow up performance in Austin in the near future.

Coreysan has also performed in the studio and on stage with many Trinidadian groups/artistes as a session bassist/vocalist/producer over his almost 23year musical history thus far. He has toured extensively with 3 Canal and The Cut + Clear Crew (Rapso Giants of Trinidad and Tobago), Mungal Patasar and Pantar (Indo/Caribbean /Jazz Fusion Pioneers) and Calypso Rose (Calypso Queen of The World), three of Trinidad’s biggest musical pioneers.

Within the past 2 years Coreysan has also been collaborating and recording with Bristol based trip hop fusion singer/songwriter/producer, Alonestar (Jethro Sheeran), on material for his soon to be released album “Dark Dayz”. This studio collaboration evolved into a live performance in September 2009. The result was so impressive that preparations are being made for Coreysan to work with Alonestar in the UK in 2010 which will also present an opportunity for Coreysan to showcase and promote his personal work through the kind assistance of Alonestar and his team.
