I was a very geeky kind of child, well I am still very much a geek (laughing). The drive to make music crept up on me, I think what it was, I was very interested in science and technology. I think he brainwashed me into loving music at a very early age. My drive for that came from my weird uncle who would play for me strange music which he loved. I had a lot of love and encouragement from my parents, but they didn’t have any musical education and had no real interest in music. It was a very working class, small town upbringing. Did you have a strong musical upbringing or training in the arts?Ĭhris Corner –Not at all, it was the total opposite.

With a tour currently in full motion and so much to discuss, we recently caught up with the man behind the curtain, ladies and germs, we give you Chris Corner.Ĭ – In your career, more so with IAMX than Sneaker Pimps, is your multi-instrumental talents.
One tour down and IAMX was back at it releasing an EP in September of 2016, Everything is Burning, to nothing short of high praise. In October 2015, IAMX released their newest and possibly best album to date, Metanoia, taking his fans on a sonic journey the last couple of years. Healthy, invigorated, and inspired, Corner thanked his fans for the support in not only words, but actions. Two-thousand and fifteen as well as 2016 saw the return of IAMX, and in no small way. Most would crumble, hell most artists have ended their careers over less, Corner did not end up giving up, he fought through it, and guess what, he is back. Unable to work and create, Corner set to get better and the band was on an indefinite hiatus. Then, like so many great stories, a hitch of sorts, Chris Corner fell ill to a terrible case of insomnia. In 2013, IAMX released one of their most revered albums, The Unified Field, launched a successful tour, and were proving to be a force live and in the studio. Since their debut, Kiss + Swallow, Corner has displayed what he can do pretty much by himself, from the writing, playing, and production. Skipping ahead to about 2004, Chris Corner forged his own path, building one of Electronic’s most unpredictable bands, IAMX. However, anyone with access to Wikipedia and its vast “misinformation” superhighway can read up on the formation and releases of that great band and their well-earned godfather’s to Trip Hop title. Since the debut of his band the Sneaker Pimps in the mid 90s, Chris Corner has been building a foundation of what would be a bastion to Electronic music. One could call Producer, Multi-Instrumentalist, Singer, Songwriter Chris Corner a modern day Renaissance Man, but even that term would fall short of his accomplishments.
