Biography
Canadian pop star Corey Hart was born May 31, 1962, in Montreal, Canada. Making connections at an early age, Hart auditioned as a singer for both Paul Anka and Tom Jones before he was a teenager. At 18 he sent homemade demos to Billy Joel, getting a positive reply from a member of Joelâs band that led to gigs. His debut album, 1983âs First Offense took off when the video for the first single, the brooding synth driven âSunglasses at Nightâ, became an enormous hit on MTV. The album went top 10 in Canada and top 40 in the United States, while the single was a US top 10. 1985âs Boy in the Box catapulted him further with the inspirational power ballad âNever Surrenderâ. The number 3 US hit and topped the Canadian charts, and winning a Juno award for best selling single. Another single, âEverything in My Heartâ, was a Canadian number 1. Through the rest of the decade he would continue to chart big hits in his home country including a cover of âCanât Help Falling In Loveâ that was his third number 1. By the early 90s, Hart began writing material for other Canadian acts trying to break into the American market, including Julie Massse, who would become Hartâs wife. After 1998âs Jade, Hart essentially retired as a performing artist in favor of being a family man. He started his own record label in 2003, occasionally writing songs for artists. At the beginning of the 2010âs Hart began to perform again, releasing the EP Ten Thousand Horses in 2014. That same year he marked his 30th anniversary as a recording artist with what he called a farewell concert in Montreal. He was inducted into Canadaâs Walk of Fame in 2016, and played live occasionally throughout the decade. In 2020 he released a new version of âNever Surrenderâ that directly addressed the COVID-19 epidemic.
