Alain Cordier (French pronunciation:[alɛ̃kɔʁdje]; born 25 November 1979 in Thionville), better known by his stage name Corson, is a French singer-songwriter.[1] He is a versatile singer with a characteristic tenor lyrical voice and classical singing techniques but equally efficient as a pop rock performer.[2] Corson is also the name of his musical pop rock group. His debut 11-track album The Rainbow was released on Polydor in January 2015.[3]

Corson with encouragement of his mother studied piano at age 8. At 17 years, he took classical singing classes at the Thionville music conservatory also becoming the vocalist for the band Samsara, a funk group he formed with his high school friend. He also entered Thionville Conservatory and later Asnières Conservatory specializing in lyrical singing. He took part in a number of musical comedies touring various French venues.
Cordier also graduated with a diploma in International Commerce and worked for a time in a Luxembourg bank before quitting to concentrate all his time to music. At 21, he decided to move to Paris and to attempt a musical career. In 2003, he played in Belles belles belles (a musical based on Claude François' songs) and in Roméo et Juliette by Gérard Presgurvic.[4]
He wrote songs for Amaury Vassili, Joy Esther and in 2009 his meeting with producer Selim Mouhoubi and his Selisam Productions company was very critical in developing his career. Alain Cordier decided to change his artistic name to Corson in memory of his mother being the first syllables of his mother's given name and surname.
In 2011, an EP titled Corson released with 5 tracks on label Mercury Records.[5][6] The singles The Rainbow, We'll Come Again, Raise Me Up were broadcast on French radios Virgin Radio, RTL, NRJ.[7][8][9]
His song We'll Come Again can be heard in Lancôme's commercial for the fragrance "La Vie est belle" with Julia Roberts.[13]
Styleedit
Corson discovered U2 as an adolescent and tried to sing like Bono and Luciano Pavarotti on the duet Miss Sarajevo who inspired him the single We'll come again. He has an operatic voice who serves melancholic lyrics and melodies. He illustrates his songs by artistic video clips. Corson reminds Brad Pitt's Meet Joe Black for We'll come again.[14]

He supports the association Rafael Lorraine, a charity created for helping sick children.[15]
