David Corley

David Corley endured a not-so-idyllic childhood on a horse farm in the town of Lafayette in Indiana despite loving, close knit family relations with his grandma Annabelle, mother Sarah, sister Annie and their two dogs "Moose" and "Ox". For piano, "I would walk the four miles home from my piano teacher's house down gravel roads and through cornfields 'til my mom finally agreed to not make me go back." He began practicing the piano on his own, teaching himself songs from the radio and the stacks of eclectic sheet music lying around the house and quickly began to pen his own tunes.

When he was nineteen, David had a series of ecstatic visionary and mystical experiences. After leaving the University of Georgia at the age of 20, he travelled across the country delivering trucks, and began to read and write obsessively. By the time he went back to University of Georgia (to study computer science), he started to develop his voice as a songwriter, often breaking in to the Fine Arts Building to play his wild, original music on a grand piano in the middle of the night.

At the age of 53, Corley released his debut album, Available Light.
