In the middle of 2006 Corinne went to her first world tour through Europe and North America. It is worth mentioning that for a long time Rae was performing in small clubs in Leeds. Corinne was the fourth singer, whose first album got on top of Official British Chart. The record soon became platinum: more than 500 thousand of copies were sold. Her first single Like A Star was released in November 2005, and her debut album appeared in February 2006. She took part in creation of his album Better Luck Next Time, and it made major label bosses pay their attention to the young singer. In 2004 she worked with another band from Leeds, Homecut Directive: Corinne had a part in Come the Revolution, the band’s first single.Ĭorinne Bailey Rae’s career started in 2004, after joint work with Mark Hill (Craig David's mentor). Soon she was working with funk group from her Native town The New Mastersounds: performing the song Your Love Is Mine, from their 2003 album Be Yourself. She was so impressed by these styles that it sent her to a new musical level. During that period of education she opened for herself jazz and soul music. Later Rae entered the University of Leeds where she studied English Literature, and she successfully graduated in 2000.
As Corinne said in one of the interviews, at that period she was shocked and had absolutely no idea what to do next. Nevertheless, the band did not exist for a long time: the group was disbanded after the bassist became pregnant. They even signed to heavy metal record label Roadrunner Records. They played indie music, inspired by Veruca Salt and L7, and everything was perfect.
In her teens Corinne was fond of electric guitar, and she managed to start her own all-female band called Helen. Later Rae was interested in vocals, and she began to sing in Church. Corinne was born to a black Kittitian father and a white English mother, and was the oldest daughter: she had two sisters - Candice Bailey and Rhea Bailey.Ĭorinne started to learn music when she was in school: she studied classical violin. Corinne Bailey Rae (at birth she was named Corinne Jacqueline Bailey) is a young British jazz singer.
