From Israel to Texas to Chicago.... and now to the streets of SIN CITY!

Las Vegas Baby!

Our next guest joined Kompoz back in December of 2008 and we've been diggin' his work ever since. Who ever said drummers don't write songs, never heard of HifiFrey!!

sanger’s Spot Light on…… Cory Frey

sanger: Have you had a chance to actually meet any of your fellow Kompozers face-to-face?

Cory: Yes several

sanger: Really? That’s great! Can you tell us more about that?

Cory: I have met Bjorn, Brannon and Eric Bennett [ericlives]... Bjorn and Eric came to Vegas a couple years ago. We hung out over entirely too much beer and cigarettes at the Orleans.
Good times! Brannon came for a visit and stayed in my home year ago now on his whirlwind tour of Vegas, Manila and Stockholm.
All good people, great minds and kind, tender souls. I'll never forget it.
I had my ticket bought for the Stockholm Showdown. I was so looking forward to it. My dad got sick a couple weeks prior to the date, had to go in the hospital. Needless to say I was bummed I could not go and meet more Kompozers.

sanger: I hope you Dad’s doing OK these days.
What do your friends/bandmates/family have to say when you tell them about Kompoz?

Cory: My friends dont think much about it unless they are musicians themselves. My bandmates think it is very cool and are Kompoz members as well. My family is excited to hear all the killer music I am a part of.

sanger: Other than your own tunes, do you have a favorite Kompoz Komposition?

Cory: Yes. Several come to mind. “Dinner at Lonnie’s” by Marty [MDK]. I hope to play drums to that one day if Marty and Lonnie will let me. :)
“Runner” by Reggie [bouffy] is a favorite. There are so many I could just go on and on.

sanger: What would you like to say about Kompoz that our members can benefit from?

Cory: I would say to the newbies mainly. Dont expect people to clammer to add parts to your songs. The trick to Kompoz is to join other people’s projects when you are new.
Once they see how much you care about their music they will then help you with yours. Also making music is a very emotional journey and if you don't have thick skin, you won't enjoy yourself here.
Not everyone is going to like your track or song.

sanger: One final question Cory, name two artists you’d like to see for a Kollaboration Kontest?

Cory: I would like to see Dweezil Zappa or Mike Keneally.

Cory, thanks so much for letting me put the Spot Light on YOU
