Fig Authentic: Corinne

Inspired by the artistry and eclectic styles Corinne encountered at Bethlehem’s MusikFest, her passion for music grew into a career shaped by years of jazz and musical theatre performances. For the past decade, she has proudly returned to perform at Musikfest every year.

“I love performing live,” Corinne beamed. “The energy and authenticity are unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It feeds my soul!”

Her influences draw heavily from Brazilian Bossa Nova, the early 1960s genre blending jazz with rhythmic guitar. “I’m passionate about bending genres,” she explained. “Pop, jazz, Bossa Nova—any sound that helps me tell my story.”

That love of eclectic styles connected her with Eric Todd, Founder of iProdigy, a Grammy award–winning development program connecting artists with new fans. Their partnership led to Corinne’s upcoming album, Stories in Pink. “I’ve waited for years to find a composer who shares my passion for music and genre-bending style,” Corinne said. “And I found him right here in Bethlehem!”

Stories in Pink weaves vintage essence with modern edge, creating a lush, sophisticated sound. “Eric helped me grow into the artist I always knew I could be,” Corinne said. “My goal is to tour worldwide for my album, starting and ending in Bethlehem.”

This fall, she will release the new album and take a career-defining step onto the stage at Casa Cipriani New York, an exclusive private club where A-list stars mingle. For a local artist, this is a remarkable leap onto the international stage.

A self-described late bloomer in the industry, Corinne hopes to inspire others.

“My mission is to remind people that it’s never too late to achieve your dreams.”

On December 7, she’ll partner with The Children’s Home of Easton for a performance and private Q&A benefit dinner at the Musikfest Café.
