Biography: Corinne Bailey Rae. From Leeds, England, artist Corinne Bailey released her self-titled debut album in 2006, debuting at #1 in the UK and #4 in the USA, featuring the global hits “Put Your Records On” and “Like A Star”. It catapulted Bailey Rae into the spotlight with millions of albums sold and earned multiple award nominations, including Grammy® and Brit Awards.
The second album, The Sea was released to worldwide critical acclaim, reaching Top 5 in the UK and Top 10 in the USA and was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. The subsequent EP Is This Love was awarded a Grammy® for Best R&B Performance in 2011.
Bailey Rae received a Grammy® Award for her work on Herbie Hancock’s album The River. Recent recordings have seen her work with Al Green, Claude Kelly, Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, John Legend, John Mayer, KING, Malay, Norah Jones, Paul McCartney, RZA, Salaam Remi, Stevie Wonder, The Roots, Valerie Simpson and more.
