Biography
Corey Taylor is a singer, songwriter, and actor who built a career on dual-band mastery and restless collaboration. Born December 8, 1973, in the US, he co-founded Stone Sour with drummer Joel Ekman in March 1992 in Des Moines, Iowa, then joined Slipknot in late 1997 as lead vocalist, replacing Anders Colsefni. His designation as #8 in Slipknot's rotating lineup became iconic; the first two Slipknot albums achieved Platinum status. After that success, Taylor revived Stone Sour in 2002 to record and tour, keeping both bands active simultaneously. His solo debut CMFT arrived in 2020, followed by CMF2 on September 15, 2023. Beyond his two main acts, Taylor has worked with Korn, Disturbed, Apocalyptica, Code Orange, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Avenged Sevenfold, Steel Panther, Tonight Alive, Falling in Reverse, Soulfly, Damageplan, Tech N9ne, Ho99o9, Wargasm, the Clay People, and Motionless in White—a sprawl of guest slots and side projects. A Sagittarius born in 1973, his Life Path number is 4, grounding his prolific output in discipline and structure despite the chaos [F1, birth enrichments]. Musicians perform live, record albums, and tour across genres.
