Coreysan

Coreysan is a Bristol based/Trinidad born musician and producer who describes his music as Electronic Caribbean Hybrid Music. Driving electronic soundscapes, soulfully earthy bass work, raspy, soothing vocals and a storyteller approach to his lyrical compositions, reminiscent of Calypso, all combine to give his music a rootsy, thought provoking, bass driven and mysterious flavour. Coreysan started his musical journey in 1987 in Trinidad where he performed as a session bassist in many popular and underground bands over the years. He has self released 2 full length albums and 2 EPs since his debut as Coreysan in 2004. He continues to collaborate as a vocalist/song writer and session bassist from his new home in Bristol with many local and UK based groups and producers of various styles of music which helps to bring even more diversity to his solo project.
