JP's Bio
| Legally blind since birth, singer/songwriter JP Corwyn began
perusing the local zines in Fort Myers, Florida at the age of
twelve, hoping to audition for bands seeking a lead vocalist.
Even at that age, Corwyn knew his lot in life was to be a
performer, even though the bar bands he was cold-calling didn’t
agree at the time because of his youth. So Corwyn worked on his
craft by learning guitar, keyboards, bass and drums, and
eventually began to use his own life experiences to write music.

Now, as a recording artist based in the Washington, DC-area,
Corwyn’s influences are all over the map—from the pure vocal
power of Angie Aparo to the grunge of Layne Staley and Eddie
Vedder to the R&B flavor of Stevie Wonder to the vocal
theatrics of Jeff Buckley. A nd with songwriting influences that also
include the likes of Bob Dylan, Rachel Boland and Marcus Miller, Corwyn’s music can aptly be described as original. And above
all, he is inspired by the potential connection between
songwriter and audience. “There’s no electricity to match the
feeling when people are singing back your lyrics to you,” he
says. “In the end, that’s why I fight/hunt/sing/play/write/am.”
Corwyn’s latest recording project is an EP with acclaimed
Cleveland, Ohio producer Michael Seifert of Ante Up Audio and
Take Manhattan Publishing, and is already garnering respect from
industry insiders upon test marketing. “Seifert approaches
things like a chess match,” says Corwyn. “He’s always thinking
four to eight moves ahead of what’s on the board. He’s a genius
and I couldn’t think of anyone I’d trust more with the integrity
of my songs.”
Now, after a few years of honing his skills, Corwyn is about to
begin shopping his EP for label representation. His songs are
emotive and full of hooks, but it’s really his trademark
powerful voice that is sure to garner plenty of industry
attention. For more information or for a copy of the EP to
