Cory Marks (born Cory Marquardt)[2][3] is a Canadian country rock singer and songwriter.

Early life

Cory Marquardt was raised in North Bay, Ontario. He cites Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Ozzy Osbourne, and Rush as early musical influences.[4] He played university hockey at the Royal Military College of Canada where he also pursued dreams of becoming a fighter pilot.[5][6] He had never performed music publicly until his friends encouraged him to do so while at a bar in college.[7] He has continued to work towards his private pilot license.[3] He has performed using the name "Cory Marks" since the release of his debut album.[2]

Career

This Man

In July 2014, he released his first single to Canadian country radio, "Smartphone".[8] His second single, "21", was released in April 2015.[9] His first album, This Man was released on May 26, 2015 through Big Star Recordings.[10][11] The album included his first two singles, as well as two further singles, "This Man"[12], and "Nowhere With You".[13]

Who I Am

In 2016, Marks signed a deal to work with award-winning producer Kevin Churko, known for work with Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain, and Five Finger Death Punch.[14] In 2018, he signed a record deal with Eleven Seven Music (later rebranded as Better Noise Music) as their flagship country artist.[2][15]

In November 2019, Marks released first single on Better Noise, "Outlaws & Outsiders", featuring Ivan Moody, Travis Tritt, and Mick Mars,[16] which debuted at #1 on iTunes in Canada as well as #1 on the Billboard Rock Digital Songs and Hard Rock Digital Songs charts and #7 on the Country Digital Songs charts.[17][18] The song would later peak inside the top 10 on US Mainstream Rock radio, top 5 on German rock radio, and top 30 on Canada Rock radio.[19][20]

In June 2020, Marks released "Drive",[21][22][23] and announced it as the second single to country radio off his second album, Who I Am, which was released on August 7, 2020 through Better Noise.[24][1][25]
