Corey Weaver
The lead voice on “Closer” sounds like that of a female. But gospel vocalist Corey Weaver is a male tenor who can hit sassy Dorinda Clark Cole notes as effortlessly as Hank Aaron could catch a fly ball.
Backed by a full-throated group, Weaver lofts notes well over the stave as he seeks a more intimate relationship with God
From Oklahoma City, Corey Weaver developed his musical appetite on a steady diet of gospel, jazz, and R&B. Among his influences are Twinkie Clark, VaShawn Mitchell, and the Truthettes.
