John Corabi—current frontman of The Dead Daisies, formerly of Mötley Crüe, Union and The Scream—has signed with Frontiers Music Srl to release new solo music in collaboration with producer/songwriter Marti Frederiksen.
Corabi promises an organic 1960s/’70s-style record and will tour with a backing band featuring his son Ian on drums.
“I’m thankful to Frontiers Records for the opportunity to give you guys some new music!” Corabi said. “I’ve been writing and recording with my good pal Marti Frederiksen here in Nashville, and I can’t wait for you to hear it all!”
Tom Lipsky, head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, said: “It is exciting to bring John into the Frontiers Label Group. He has fans around the world, and he is respected by the artist community as a musician, singer and songwriter. John’s new music will take his accomplished career to an even higher level”.
Corabi is a journeyman singer-songwriter and guitarist who burst onto the music scene with Hollywood Records recording artist The Scream in 1991. Touring extensively throughout the United States on the strength of the band’s songs “Man in the Moon,” “I Believe in Me,” and “Father Mother Son,” Corabi attracted the attention of radio, MTV, fans and critics alike.
Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx reached out to Corabi after the departure of Vince Neil in 1992 and asked him to join the band for the writing and recording of its 1994 self-titled record. During the recording process of the follow-up “Generation Swine” album in late 1996, Neil returned to the band, and Corabi started the band Union with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.
With Union, Corabi released three albums between 1998 and 2001. He eventually left Union to join Ratt on its 2001 summer tour, handling guitar and backing vocal duties. After touring constantly from 2001 to 2008, Corabi left the band to go out on his own.
Corabi released the “Unplugged” in 2012 and a live album, “Live 94: One Night in Nashville,” in 2018, as well as multiple original and tribute singles. He received a phone call in 2015 to join the all-star collective called The Dead Daisies and has since recorded the albums “Revolución,” “Make Some Noise,” “Live and Louder,” “Burn It Down,” “Light Em’ Up” and a recently released blues covers record “Looking for Trouble.”
In his 35-year career, Corabi has recorded and released 19 full-length records and wrote his autobiography, “Horseshoes and Hand Grenades” (2022).
