From Metropolis Magazine (Tokyo); 2005:-
Coming up in a UK R&B scene that is hungry for fresh young talent; Cory Heywood is the real deal. Combining sit-down-and-think lyrics with reassuring, rich vocal tones and show-stopping dance moves, many have earmarked this young Londoner to be the future of the UK R&B scene.
Born in Rugby, a small town in the West Midlands of England and raised in South London, Cory Heywood has been wowing audiences with his talents since his early teens, performing live shows at clubs across the UK while more recently, travelling to Japan for a year of promotion.
Toted as "the total package", the singer songwriter has been attracting indie label interest in the UK, and has attracted major label interest in Japan already, which could partially be due to the fact that he is a "blasian" - and as many 'blasian' talents have recently successfully emerged in the Japanese R&B scene, he is looked at as being "the next in line".
Upon discovering young Cory's talents, his mother began contacting numerous producers and promotors, attempting to make his talent known. Her efforts landed Cory in the studio with Roger "Double R" Russell (Lee Ryan, So Solid/Romeo, Maxwell) and Lorraine Cato (of UK R&B fame), where he cut his first professional track, "Ain't No Way (I'ma Let U Go)".
The bringing together of singer/songwriter (Cory himself) and Grammy-nominated songwriter (Double R) produced a track that is centered around a well-known topic, but then covers the lyrical content with a new, fresher sound. Cory has compared the track to a hybrid of UK and J-R&B; but that the sound is strictly fresh.
While attempting to bring a sweet, long-lost sense of uniqueness to the genre through his vocal abilities, songwriting remains very important to him, and he is currently in the process of writing material for his debut album, "At 35,000 Feet". He also plans to release a mixtape in Q1 2006, entitled "Check In".

Hey! Wanted to come by and say hello...Also I wanted to share our new video for the "Love Changes Things" movement...hope this touches your heart as much as it did mine..God's Love and Blessings ALWAYS! Ya boy, Moon
here's a direct link to iTunes store hopefully you have a chance to check out "Love Changes Things" =)
Fans and admirers remember the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. A short lived, musical genius. This video that I made revives the Michael Jackson events that went on when MJ was around. I also include other artists/actors who worked w/ Michael over the years. MUSIC is If We Hold On Together by Diana Ross. Since Diana Ross was named in Jackson's will... I felt that it was appropriate to have a song by her. The world will never forget MJ. He impacted/inspired/saved many lives. Thank you, Michael.
RIP Michael Jackson 1958 - 2009. His Music Will Live On Forever.
Just wanted to let you know I have posted a blog in which fans can leave their condolences for Michael's family. I will be printing them out and forwarding them to the family within the next few weeks.
