Speaker 3 (01:35):
When you say you have some friends, I went to
your pre Grammy party. And when you say friends, you
never know who might walk in. Yeah, who might grab
the microphone? And I know when you're in like what
I'll call a church setting. You know, it's at Miracle Theater,
but it's like a church setting. It's a service. They
could be anyone in that room who can take that
microphone and blow yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I like to look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Actually, you know, so it's a concert, but the concert
is kind of geared towards the spirit of God and
the gift of music, you know, just like celebrating music
in the way that everybody could get to it. And
to your point with the Grammy uh uh pre celebration,
it was crazy. Avery Wilson got up there. Every sunshine
I got up there. Yeah, uh both Avery uh tore
(02:23):
it up.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Robert Glasper yes, uh Glasberg got up there.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Who else? Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Man so many, Shalah McDonald got up there, Torda, Melvin
Crispell Junior got up there. It was an amazing night,
the Baylor Project, you know, Marcus Baylor.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was an amazing night Standard Romola. I was standing
in the corner.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Crazy, stay in the room only, but I had such
a great time and I and I remember at the
end of the night for me was like the the
start of Uh I guess where I am tonight? Where
we are today? Rather because I remember just the create
at the end of that night. You know that I'm
a winner and and I'm glad to.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Have one the Grammy for my album Church.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I love it. There's a spirit of humility.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But the last time you came in on the show,
I should say the first time came in before the Grammys,
you made it very clear.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I want to win.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I want to win.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I want to win.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
There's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with it. It
is a competition. I think we all is a competition,
and I'm not in it to lose. It's nice to
be nominated, but and.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Being nominated is also a win, Like I mean, there's
millions of albums that are like submitted, you know, every year,
and to be nominated is a win. So like I've
always appreciated and never give up the fact that, like
you know, I've already won, but to actually bring it
(03:52):
home and you know, and bring the whole thing together
is like whoa.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It fulfills another whole joy in my soul.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Going back to Miracle Theater Easter evening, how do you
foresee that night going? Do you have a set list
where you know I'm going to play this, this is this,
or You're gonna let the spirit guide you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Wherever it leads you is where you're gonna end up.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I always come in with a game plan, right, and
I'm still working on it. The bands have now grown
tremendously in the last four days. I just started asking
my friends and more with my friends I was like, man,
could you come out? And I was like, oh, if
I got this many people, we can go ahead and
do this many things. So I come up with a
game plan. But somewhere in the middle, if not the
top of the concert, you know, the spirit does take
(04:34):
over and I try to play the things that the
spirit tells me to play. So it's always about that.
It's always about following the spirit and trying to touch
the people with the music.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
When you come in and you sit down and you
see maybe a person who didn't expect to see there,
and it fills your heart, does it make you play
you just to make you play differently. I know when
I would perform and I like, oh my mama's out there,
or someone's like.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Someone said they weren't sure they were gonna be able
to make it and they end up making it, and
it just changes your whole countenance.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I like when it happens on the like when it's spontaneous,
you know, because normally when I'm playing shows, my eyes
is closed or I'm kind of like zoned.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
In at the egg I get that, or I'm looking
at something very random.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But once I start to like recognize people in the
performance and something like that does happen. It makes me
happy and want to play harder.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Let's see, are we plugged it in and hit a
key or something. Okay, we'll get the we'll get the
ampliphone amplifier fixed in just a second. We'll do that
during the break. It's four hours long, six thirty to
ten thirty. I think of it like being a revival
where got a little bit of music, maybe some testimony,
(05:57):
and maybe you know, you might even open the doors
to the churches.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is there one maybe?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think for me, you know, we got a few
hours because as I mentioned earlier, there's a food portion,
there's a fellowship portion in which, you know, I want
a fellowship.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I want to be, you know, with the people.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And then there's also like an after show portion, after
party if you will, portion where you know, you know, son,
no homies and friends go, I want to hang out.
We're going to hang out afterwards. So I got a
program to night to just be like, oh, we're going
to be hanging all night. You know, if you don't
got nowhere to go, you can kind of be with us.
And and we have you know, a program of a
(06:36):
bunch of things happening alongside with the music that I
really feel really great about.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
That's gonna be just a good time.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So tell me one song that you know you're going
to perform.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
One song I know I'm going to perform is Praise God.
That's one of my favorite ones. You know, it's a
really simple, really simple song, but it touches me every day.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
It's like a daily mantra.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I know that you are an exceptional singer, but you
don't in other words, sometimes I think it gets lost
in your musical virtuosity.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh we're hot. Now, wait a minute, what happened?
Speaker 8 (07:18):
At?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
What changed?
Speaker 8 (07:19):
We just had?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Has some We'll fix it during the break, because we've
got to make sure we get you on this show.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
This is a live show, so stuff happens.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's on.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Good all right. Well, how do you know? I lost
my train of thought? So you know, why does your
voice get lost? I think in your virtuosity? Do you
is it something that you personally take as much pride
in as you're playing or is it your secondary to
your playing?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Oh no, it's the same.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I look at at now singing as if I'm playing.
Actually my singing to me now is over my playing. Really,
I think it's harder for people to get that and
grasp that because I spent the better part of my
life playing in front of people and just you know,
(08:09):
being an instrumentalist and going viral for being an instrumentalist.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So whenever you change, whenever.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You start to do something different, people are like, WHOA,
why aren't you still taking solos?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
And I'm like, I've been singing since I was a kid.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I started singing in church when I was like, you know,
six seven years old, and it's not new to me
per se to be singing out now in the world,
you know, as a career. So I feel like the
voice kind of touches people and it gets to people
closer than any instrument. I think most people can get
with it. And I'd spent a lot of time listening
(08:42):
to some of my favorite singers and just trying to
shed my singing chops, and some people get with it, hopefully.
And if you're doing it's okay because I'm a singer.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now, can I get you to play us out to
the break?
Speaker 3 (08:54):

The NPC and uh, and I was like, oh, I
want to just do a jam from my album.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Okay for those who are old and I'm sorry to
interrupt you, but this reminds me of this classic Cosby
Show episode where the Cosmy Kids meet Stevie Wonder and
they start creating music. In that moment, if I were
to say to you, Corey Henry, you've performed with Stevie Wonder,
so there's a tie in here, and that's let's let's
say we're gonna make some music together. How would you
start if I say, give me a beat to work with.
(13:42):
Give me example of how you create a beat.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, I come on here and I would find a
sound that I like, right, and then after I find
a sound, I would pull up the measure of the bars.
I tap a tempo out over here, you know, and
then I'm just like you know, and then I'm like,
record to what couple text based online or core progression
(14:11):
right now? Because you said base, the base is coming next, okay,
yeah know, and then.
Speaker 4 (14:16):

been to a Black church, when I say black church,
I'm talking about Amme Kojik, Southern Baptist, what have you.
There's a tradition and music is very, very prominently featured
in that. And I always talk about when I'm talking
to certain groups, you know, the salvific quality of gospel music.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You have the minister and he will be going through
his servant.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
He'll start hooping, as they say, and then usually the
organists will come behind him and start complementing what he
or she is saying.

I got some friends, friends gonna come out, great band,
horn players, it's a whole no your name, it's gonna
be a good time.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
When you say you have some friends, I went to
your pre Grammy party. And when you say friends, you
never know who might walk in. Yeah, who might grab
the microphone? And I know when you're in like what
I'll call a church setting. You know, it's at Miracle Theater,
but it's like a church setting. It's a service. They
could be anyone in that room who can take that
microphone and blow yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah, yeah, I like to look at it.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Actually, you know, so it's a concert, but the concert
is kind of geared towards the spirit of God and
the gift of music, you know, just like celebrating music
in the way that everybody could get to it. And
to your point with the Grammy uh uh pre celebration,
it was crazy. Avery Wilson got up there. Every sunshine
I got up there. Yeah, uh both Avery uh tore
(02:23):
it up.
Speaker 6 (02:24):
Robert Glasper yes, uh Glasberg got up there.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Who else? Uh?
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Man so many, Shalah McDonald got up there, Torda, Melvin
Crispell Junior got up there. It was an amazing night,
the Baylor Project, you know, Marcus Baylor.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It was an amazing night Standard Romola. I was standing
in the corner.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Crazy, stay in the room only, but I had such
a great time and I and I remember at the
end of the night for me was like the the
start of Uh I guess where I am tonight? Where
we are today? Rather because I remember just the create
at the end of that night. You know that I'm
a winner and and I'm glad to.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
Have one the Grammy for my album Church.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I love it. There's a spirit of humility.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
But the last time you came in on the show,
I should say the first time came in before the Grammys,
you made it very clear.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I want to win.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I want to win.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
I want to win.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
There's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with it. It
is a competition. I think we all is a competition,
and I'm not in it to lose. It's nice to
be nominated, but and.
Speaker 5 (03:32):
Being nominated is also a win, Like I mean, there's
millions of albums that are like submitted, you know, every year,
and to be nominated is a win. So like I've
always appreciated and never give up the fact that, like
you know, I've already won, but to actually bring it
(03:52):
home and you know, and bring the whole thing together
is like whoa.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
It fulfills another whole joy in my soul.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Going back to Miracle Theater Easter evening, how do you
foresee that night going? Do you have a set list
where you know I'm going to play this, this is this,
or You're gonna let the spirit guide you.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Wherever it leads you is where you're gonna end up.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
I always come in with a game plan, right, and
I'm still working on it. The bands have now grown
tremendously in the last four days. I just started asking
my friends and more with my friends I was like, man,
could you come out? And I was like, oh, if
I got this many people, we can go ahead and
do this many things. So I come up with a
game plan. But somewhere in the middle, if not the
top of the concert, you know, the spirit does take
(04:34):
over and I try to play the things that the
spirit tells me to play. So it's always about that.
It's always about following the spirit and trying to touch
the people with the music.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
When you come in and you sit down and you
see maybe a person who didn't expect to see there,
and it fills your heart, does it make you play
you just to make you play differently. I know when
I would perform and I like, oh my mama's out there,
or someone's like.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Someone said they weren't sure they were gonna be able
to make it and they end up making it, and
it just changes your whole countenance.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (05:11):
I like when it happens on the like when it's spontaneous,
you know, because normally when I'm playing shows, my eyes
is closed or I'm kind of like zoned.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
In at the egg I get that, or I'm looking
at something very random.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
But once I start to like recognize people in the
performance and something like that does happen. It makes me
happy and want to play harder.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Let's see, are we plugged it in and hit a
key or something. Okay, we'll get the we'll get the
ampliphone amplifier fixed in just a second. We'll do that
during the break. It's four hours long, six thirty to
ten thirty. I think of it like being a revival
where got a little bit of music, maybe some testimony,
(05:57):
and maybe you know, you might even open the doors
to the churches.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Is there one maybe?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Maybe?
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I think for me, you know, we got a few
hours because as I mentioned earlier, there's a food portion,
there's a fellowship portion in which, you know, I want
a fellowship.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
I want to be, you know, with the people.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
And then there's also like an after show portion, after
party if you will, portion where you know, you know, son,
no homies and friends go, I want to hang out.
We're going to hang out afterwards. So I got a
program to night to just be like, oh, we're going
to be hanging all night. You know, if you don't
got nowhere to go, you can kind of be with us.
And and we have you know, a program of a
(06:36):
bunch of things happening alongside with the music that I
really feel really great about.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
That's gonna be just a good time.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So tell me one song that you know you're going
to perform.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
No.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
One song I know I'm going to perform is Praise God.
That's one of my favorite ones. You know, it's a
really simple, really simple song, but it touches me every day.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
It's like a daily mantra.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I know that you are an exceptional singer, but you
don't in other words, sometimes I think it gets lost
in your musical virtuosity.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Oh we're hot. Now, wait a minute, what happened?
Speaker 8 (07:18):
At?
Speaker 2 (07:18):
What changed?
Speaker 8 (07:19):
We just had?
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Has some We'll fix it during the break, because we've
got to make sure we get you on this show.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
This is a live show, so stuff happens.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's on.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Good all right. Well, how do you know? I lost
my train of thought? So you know, why does your
voice get lost? I think in your virtuosity? Do you
is it something that you personally take as much pride
in as you're playing or is it your secondary to
your playing?
Speaker 4 (07:47):
Oh no, it's the same.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I look at at now singing as if I'm playing.
Actually my singing to me now is over my playing. Really,
I think it's harder for people to get that and
grasp that because I spent the better part of my
life playing in front of people and just you know,
(08:09):
being an instrumentalist and going viral for being an instrumentalist.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So whenever you change, whenever.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
You start to do something different, people are like, WHOA,
why aren't you still taking solos?
Speaker 4 (08:19):
And I'm like, I've been singing since I was a kid.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
I started singing in church when I was like, you know,
six seven years old, and it's not new to me
per se to be singing out now in the world,
you know, as a career. So I feel like the
voice kind of touches people and it gets to people
closer than any instrument. I think most people can get
with it. And I'd spent a lot of time listening
(08:42):
to some of my favorite singers and just trying to
shed my singing chops, and some people get with it, hopefully.
And if you're doing it's okay because I'm a singer.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Now, can I get you to play us out to
the break?
Speaker 3 (08:54):

of equipment over here.

The NPC and uh, and I was like, oh, I
want to just do a jam from my album.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Okay for those who are old and I'm sorry to
interrupt you, but this reminds me of this classic Cosby
Show episode where the Cosmy Kids meet Stevie Wonder and
they start creating music. In that moment, if I were
to say to you, Corey Henry, you've performed with Stevie Wonder,
so there's a tie in here, and that's let's let's
say we're gonna make some music together. How would you
start if I say, give me a beat to work with.
(13:42):
Give me example of how you create a beat.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Yeah, I come on here and I would find a
sound that I like, right, and then after I find
a sound, I would pull up the measure of the bars.
I tap a tempo out over here, you know, and
then I'm just like you know, and then I'm like,
record to what couple text based online or core progression
(14:11):
right now? Because you said base, the base is coming next, okay,
yeah know, and then.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
They can do kind of this kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You need to be watching this on YouTube, y'all.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
You know it's a little based m m hmmm hm.
Speaker 9 (14:35):

So would you.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
Let's see, let's see that's a little course.
Speaker 5 (14:49):

and then maybe guitar.
Speaker 8 (15:00):

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Lost and then you know it'd be like three hours later,
all right.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
And for those who may not know, if they've never
been to a Black church, when I say black church,
I'm talking about Amme Kojik, Southern Baptist, what have you.
There's a tradition and music is very, very prominently featured
in that. And I always talk about when I'm talking
to certain groups, you know, the salvific quality of gospel music.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
You have the minister and he will be going through
his servant.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
He'll start hooping, as they say, and then usually the
organists will come behind him and start complementing what he
or she is saying.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
And I know you've done that before.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
If I would ask you to give me something like that.
