Cody Karey

2013 debut album from this world-class tenor pop vocalist discovered by David Foster - who has a track record for this sort of thing! Karey's bow has attracted some impressive talent, including Grammy-winning producer Walter Afanasieff (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Lionel Richie), ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Bernie Herms (Brad Paisley, The Tenors). Greg Wells (Adele), Josh Kear (Lady Antebellum) and Ryan Tedder (One Republic, Leona Lewis and Beyonce). ''We wanted to create a signature sound with the themes of the songs,'' says Cody. ''All the material was carefully chosen to that end. I had an incredible team, working with Verve's A&R executives Jaymes Foster and Jay Landers. They stood behind my input, and left a lot of the decision-making up to me. They really embraced my involvement, which I found remarkable for someone recording just his first album.''
