简介
Coreysan is a mysterious, soulful, rootsy, bass driven musician who brings an entirely new flavour to the electronic scene. Steering clear of imposed genres, Coreysan describes his music as Electronic Caribbean World Fusion. The powerfully spirited islands of Trinidad and Tobago that is his homeland brings a Caribbean sound that is combined exquisitely with driving electronic soundscapes, soulfully earthy bass work and the hauntingly ethereal Theremin. Raspy, soothing vocals complement the music with a storyteller approach to his lyrical compositions, reminiscent of Calypso with a universe perspective. A deep love for eastern/old world music has further influenced Coreysan's style, giving the music a deeply spiritual sheen. The Bristol scene… The Bristol music scene has long been a love for Coreysan, promoting his relocation to the city that put underground music on the map. Now that he has recently settled in Bristol, a place whose musical contributions have greatly influenced his musical direction (Tricky, Massive Attack, Phaeleh, Portishead, Drum & Bass, Dubstep etc), Coreysan is preparing to launch his next recorded work, a 12 track album called “In Transit” with live performances to support this work and to do more collaborations with musicians in his new found home. Collaborating… His love for the Bristol sound has led Coreysan to collaborate with a variety of local musicians including: : Winner of two Exposure Music 2010 Awards for Best Male Artist and Best Urban Song, Alonestar (Jethro Sheeran). Coreysan has appeared as a bassist and vocalist/lyricist on a number of his musical productions including Real Life featuring his cousin Ed Sheeran. : His second major Bristol/Trinidad collaboration was with Kristian Townsend who also manages Reel Me Records (Laid Blak, Alonestar, J Rokka, Seventhly etc) where they collaborated on 2 tracks featuring vocals and lyrics from Coreysan called “Slave of Time” and “Return to One”. The tracks were released in March 2013 and have been remixed by both Jon Kennedy and Dubspeeka. : Unreleased collaborative work with Bristol based “End of the Line” : Featured narration in the promo video for good friends and fellow musicians “Jus Now” (Sam Interface and LazaBeam) yet another Bristol based Trini/Bristol collaboration. In his homeland… Coreysan has been a musician/artist for over 25 years, performing as a solo musician and as a bassist/vocalist with various top bands in Trinidad including 3 Canal, Mungal Patasar, Calypso Rose, Oddfellows Local, Jointpop, Kin Sound System, Gyazette, Kindred and many more. Coreysan is also a pioneer of the live electronic music scene in his homeland being the first musician to bring a computer to the stage as an instrument with his band Atheleny (2000-2004) and then with his solo project Coreysan (2006 – present). Gigs around the world… Coreysan has performed a solo artist internationally at MMC12 (Millennium Music Conference, Pennsylvania, USA) 2008, The Coben 2008 (London, UK), SXSW 2009 (South by Southwest, Texas, USA), The South Bank Centre 2010 and 2012 (Bristol, UK), The Croft 2012 (Bristol, UK) and The Attic 2012 (Bristol, UK). As a session bassist/vocalist with Mungal Patasar, 3 Canal and more so with the Queen of Calypso Music, Calypso Rose, Coreysan has been touring and performing for the past 5 years at major world festivals like Montreux Jazz Festival (Switzerland), Womex Festival (Spain), Lincoln Center (New York, USA), Womad Festival (UK, Australia and New Zealand), Timitar and Mawazine Festivals (Morocco), Paleo Festival (Switzerland), Sakifo Musik Festival (Reunion Island) and Musique a Manosque Festival (France) just to name a few.
