Justin “Corky” Cortelyou’s presence at these all-star sessions was the result of a long and winding road, driven by a love of music. While at high school in Greenburg, Pennsylvania, Cortelyou played trombone in several youth orchestras and jazz ensembles, and also guitar in local bands. He went on to study music and engineering at Middle Tennessee State University, and cut his teeth assisting legendary mixer Chuck Ainley and later the equally legendary Mike Shipley.

Justin started as a night manager and assistant engineer at Soundstage Studios in Nashville until Mike Shipley and actress/country singer Crystal Bernard moved him to Los Angeles. Cortelyou eventually teamed up with producer and songwriter Tommy Henriksen, and the duo moved to Nashville in 2008, where they started working with yet another music legend, Bob Ezrin.

Bob Ezrin is, of course, famous for producing classic albums by Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel and Kiss, and also being at the forefront of many new technological developments in the studio. Ezrin has an incredible track record, and during the 10 years Cortelyou spent as the big man’s engineer and mixer at his Anarchy Studios in Nashville, he was involved in the making of great records by the likes of Deep Purple, Phish, Andrea Bocelli, Alice Cooper, and of course, Hollywood Vampires. Amazingly, in addition to his busy schedule with Ezrin, Cortelyou also found time to step out on his own and work with artists like JJ Shiplett and Jerrod Niemann.

The latter two projects provided further career highlight, recalls Cortelyou, “JJ’s album Something To Believe In (2017), is one of my all-time favourites. It was one of those records where you’re mixing, and you can’t wait to be finished, because you just want to sit there and listen to it. Particularly with a song called ‘Waters’ I remember being so lost in the music that I was forgetting what my hands were doing with the faders!”

“Jerrod Niemann’s High Noon (2014) started out as a low-budget demo project, and as we progressed, the label became more and more enthusiastic, and went 100% behind it becoming an album. The single, ‘Drink To That All Night,’ eventually went to number one, and Pitbull was involved in a remix of it. It was fun to be part of that ride! Of the work I did with Bob, in addition to the Hollywood Vampires album, the Deep Purple records were great to work on. These guys really are the best! We also did a record with Phish, Big Boat, for which tracking started the day my daughter was due, so that is still very memorable to me!”
