Bio
CORDAY WILL WIN YOU OVER WITH HER CHARM, HER WIT, AND HER RED-HOT INTENSITY! From raw and rockin' to acoustic and broken-hearted, Corday has been engaging audiences across the nation for years with her irresistible charisma on and off the stage. Her latest record, Superhero, is a colorful pop rock collection of sparkling radio-ready gems that are irresistibly fun, and comes with a bling-bling music video that is airing on MTV's LOGO. The video was just named one of the Top 15 in the Star Radio 98.7 Rockstar Competition and has won numerous other awards at indie film fests across the nation. Corday has a large and loyal following in Los Angeles and Orange County and is also nationally known by all fans of women who rock, having toured and performed at numerous notable venues and huge festivals and events where she has opened for Cher, Joan Jett, Sugar Ray, The Dave Matthews Band, Pat Benatar, Joan Osborne, The B-52's, Macy Gray, The Indigo Girls, Meredith Brooks, Cyndi Lauper, Berlin, Jonatha Brooke, Sophie B. Hawkins, Chaka Khan, Sheena Easton, Taylor Dayne, Melissa Ferrick, Catie Curtis, and many more. She rocks the house with her band, but also performs solo, with an amazing acoustic performance that will take you from a whisper to a scream. Corday wrote, recorded, and produced the new record, Superhero, in her home studio before delivering the final tracks to mix-master Gavin MacKillop (Goo Goo Dolls, Sarah McLachlan, Melissa Ferrick, Toad the Wet Sprocket) and is packaged in a very impressive double disc Digipack which includes a CD and DVD with special behind the scenes footage. Her music can be heard regularly on film and TV, and is featured on the ABC prime time series "Samantha Who" starring Christina Applegate. Corday's back catalog can be heard playing in the background of numerous MTV shows including Made, Making Of The Band, and My Sweet Sixteen while her ring tones are available for download through Verizon and Samsung. Corday produces Girl Rock at Girl Bar, a monthly showcase in Hollywood, CA that gets enormous exposure and media attention, with plans in the works to produce and broadcast a video blog nationally. She recently accepted the job of Music Supervisor for Erocktavision Films, where she will scout and select songs for numerous adult DVDs. Further, Corday is assisting San Diego-based fashion designer Michelle Mannisto in scouting and securing top-notch indie bands and solo artists to support and endorse SikGRL clothing. Famous tattoo artist Kari Barba, owner of the popular Outer Limits Tattoo Parlor chain, also endorses Corday with her unique high-end clothing line, Sinister. Corday also writes for Curve Magazine, expanding her fan-base across the nation. She is an accomplished guitarist, bassist, and cellist, as well as a captivating vocalist and skilled songwriter. She's an award-winning original artist as well as a top-notch professional cover band entertainer, performing songs from every era with ease. As the first ever three-time winner of Best Live Band, Best Alternative Band, and Best Live Female Performer at the Orange County Music Awards, Corday is clearly making everyone sit up and take notice!
