He has received a Bachelor's degree in Music Industry and Recording Arts and a Masters's in Violin Performance studying under Dr. Sila Darville. Kor'ee began playing violin at the age of 7 years old. He did not take private lessons until he was 17 years of age, so he played by ear for years, with very little music reading skills. He studied the Suzuki method when he began lessons before heading off to college where he truly learned how to read and write music for the first time. Kor'ee excelled in learning music vastly and became Concertmaster of the EKU Symphony Orchestra under Dr. Ho-Yin Kwok. He is also an educator, composer, and life coach as he works as an orchestra director and a teacher throughout Kentucky from Elementary to Collegiate levels. Kor'ee has studied and played violin in Italy and Turkey. He also has performed onstage with Black Violin and other well-known artists. Just recently he dropped his first album "Perfectly Imperfect" on all platforms, and looks forward to sharing more albums and mixtapes throughout his career and continuing the growth of music through the education systems and young maestros. Kor'ee believes that music is a language of feelings and experiences, and each person has a different sound and story to tell. He believes this practice with his students will help them to not only be technically sound, but musically competent and free.
