Corey Hanson was born in a small town in rural Texas, where he was first exposed to the sounds of traditional blues and jazz music. At the age of 7 he moved with his mother to Japan where he became fascinated by oriental culture, finding synergies with the soulful and improvisational nature of blues and jazz, quickly starting to learn to play the shamisen and the piano to try to capture that same spirit in his compositions.
As he grew older, Corey discovered the world of lofi and jazz lofi, and was immediately drawn to their mellow, atmospheric soundscapes. He was inspired by the way these genres used samples from old jazz records, and began incorporating these sounds into his own productions.
Over the years, Corey honed his skills as a producer, crafting intricate and evocative soundscapes that blended the lo-fi aesthetic with the soulful energy of jazz. His music quickly gained a following, and he became known for his ability to craft atmospheric, meditative soundscapes that were perfect for relaxing, studying, or just getting lost in the moment.
Now, Corey is one of the most sought-after musicians in the lofi and jazz lofi scene, known for his ability to create deeply moving, emotive tracks that connect with listeners on a deep, spiritual level. Whether he’s performing live or recording in the studio, Corey brings his signature sound to everything he does, making him one of the most exciting and innovative musicians of his generation.
