Tino Corey had two passions whilst at school, sports & music. After an injury during a football game that left him seriously injured, he turned his focus on his other passion, music and committed himself to making it as the next Justin Timberlake. This talented youngster, taught himself music, then continued learning the piano, bass, and drums until he was writing his own songs.
"When I was in eighth grade or so, I loved Blink-182 and Green Day," he recalls. "I was into hip-hop and pop too, but those punk-rock tunes were so amazing. I got the guitar tabs and starting learning to play the songs, which were simple but incredibly catchy. Blink really influenced my songwriting."

The results lead to the 20-year olds U.S. debut release Diary in May 2010 and took the dance floor charts by storm reaching No.11 ( not bad for a debut) and reached No.38 in the Billboard Top 100.
Claimed by Usmagazine.com to be “blowing up the pop scene” this Pittsburgh raised singer/songwriter/producer is fast becoming a force in pop music. Coury passion & commitment to music comes from within, saying it all starts with the music when he writes a song “I want a beat you can dance to, a great track–but also a story. There has to be a heart to it.” say Tino.
With only one track under his belt to date, it will be hard to compare this lad to the great J.T just yet, however we’ll be watching.
