AboutCorinne Bailey Rae was born on February 26th, 1979 in Leeds, England. She started music in school, playing the violin and singing. She also sang in her school's choir. At 15, she founded her first band, Helen, which had all female members and a metal sound. The band signed to a record company, but the bassist got pregnant and Helen disbanded.
Corinne continued studying and worked as a dresser in a jazz club. There, she fell in love with that music style. She also met saxophonist Jason Rae, who became her husband in 2001. Corinne started working on her own songs until she got remarked by Mark Hill, Craig David's producer. Her first self-titled album - a touching, soulful revelation - was released in 2006.
