Corey's interest in radio started around April 1982, when his great-uncle, Russell Chaisson, and Joshua Jackson opened KJCB, Lafayette’s first Black-owned radio station. As a youngster, Corey sat in the studio with JJ Callier, Sr. for his Zydeco Gumbo Show. Later, Corey’s DJ career started as a substitute for Lester Thibeaux at KVOL 1330 AM. John Broussard and program director Marcus “Dr. Boogie” Dauterive also brought Corey in as an apprentice on the KJCB zydeco show and handed him the torch in 1991 with the “The Hot Zydeco Show.” While studying Mass Communication at USL, he also filled in at the university’s radio station, KRVS FM 88.7. He later joined KFXZ Z105.9 FM in 2011.
