Corey Tucker is a Cincinnati-based singer-songwriter, recording artist, and live performer known for his soulful voice, engaging stage presence, and honest storytelling. A Tennessee native who moved to Cincinnati as a child, Corey has become one of the region’s most recognizable independent artists — appearing on FOX19, performing at Taste of Cincinnati and Oktoberfest Zinzinnati, and sharing the stage with Blessid Union of Souls.

Often named among Cincinnati’s standout vocalists, Corey’s voice has been described as smooth, rich, timeless, and soulful — drawing from the great voices of classic soul while staying entirely his own. Music became his language early. After the move from Tennessee, singing gave him a way to connect when words didn’t come easily, and that need shaped both his sound and his purpose: music that tells the truth about hope, faith, love, resilience, and what it means to be human.
His roots run deep — growing up singing in church, directing choirs, leading worship, and helping other artists find their own voice. That background still shapes every performance, whether it’s an intimate acoustic set, a festival stage, a private event, or a packed room. A graduate of The Ohio State University, Corey pairs artistry with entrepreneurship, working as a songwriter, producer, arranger, and creative professional — giving him a rare grasp of both the art and the business of music.
Influenced by blues, classic soul, R&B, singer-songwriters, and gospel, Corey believes authenticity is what makes music last. “It’s the honesty, the grit, and the soul that connect us. Music has always been about bringing people together.”
Today, Corey performs throughout the Midwest, delivering live experiences that blend soulful originals with fresh takes on songs people already love — on festival stages, at corporate events, wineries, and intimate listening rooms alike. The goal is always the same: create a moment people remember long after the last note.
