Corrin Campbell (born October 12, 1988) is a vocalist, bassist, songwriter, and pianist. Corrin is also an active-duty soldier in the United States Army, is currently stationed with United States Army Recruiting Command at Fort Knox, KY and is also a student of Full Sail University. Her job is considered one-of-a-kind - she is the only original music artist to be endorsed by a branch of the military. She now lives in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hailing from Duluth, Minnesota, Corrin Campbell, upon graduating high school, joined the United States Army and served as a bass guitar player and vocalist in the Army Band Field.
In addition to regular bandsman duties, she also participated in the 2003 U.S. Army Soldier Show: a 90-minute live musical review showcasing active duty soldiers. The show assembled in six weeks and then toured for 7 months in the continental United States, Cuba, and portions of Korea. Crowds would range from 100 to 13,000 people. During this time she was featured in promotional TV and radio interviews while on tour, and also performed behind Wynonna Judd at the 2003 Army Birthday Ball.
From 2004 to 2005, she deployed with the 1st Cavalry Division to Baghdad in Operation Iraqi Freedom II. As a lead singer of the rock group, band leader of the jazz como, and bass player of the Latin band, nearly every day contained a musical mission. Most days consisted of travel by Blackhawk to entertain soldiers across Iraq. She was featured at many high-profile shows, including the farewell parties of General Ricardo Sanchez and Ambassador Paul Bremer. She also met and opened for Robin Williams, Ted Nugent and Toby Keith when their USO tours came through Baghdad.
