Corey Kent is a singer/songwriter who released his latest single "Wild As Her" in early 2022. Corey joins Country Music Made Me to discuss the hard-working principles passed down through the generations from his Great Grandfather that continue to help guide him through his journey, the early musical experiences at the Oklahoma State Fair and Cain's Ballroom that created a unique musical spark within him, and what he learned during his years fronting the Western Swing band Oklahoma Stomp during his teens. Corey and Brendan talk about the life changing moment when he was welcomed to sing on stage with Willie Nelson, how he was able to chase a career in music while at the same time earning a business degree from Oklahoma State, and what he learned during his early years in Nashville. Corey explains how difficult it was to navigate 2020 as an up-and-coming independent artist, the live changing moments that happened while on tour with the likes of Parker McCollum, Randy Rogers, Aaron Watson, Kolby Cooper and Cody Johnson in 2021, and how this year is setting up to be his biggest yet with the early success of his new single "Wild As Her".
