Vernon Reid

Vernon Reid has spent more than five decades pushing the boundaries of sound, emerging as one of the most fearless and versatile guitarists of his generation. Born in London and raised in New York, Reid absorbed everything from Hendrix and Santana to Miles Davis and James Brown, shaping a voice on the instrument that could shift effortlessly between metal, jazz, funk, punk, and electronica. That restless creativity carried him from early work with Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society to co-founding the Black Rock Coalition, where he became both a musical innovator and a cultural activist, challenging the racial gatekeeping of the music industry. As the driving force behind Living Colour, Reid helped ignite a new era of alternative rock, blending virtuosity with social conscience. Rolling Stone recently recognized his singular impact, naming him among the top 50 guitarists of all time.

Corey Glover

Corey Glover is best known as the electrifying frontman of the Grammy Award-winning rock band Living Colour, whose genre-defying fusion of hard rock, funk, and soul redefined the sound of late '80s and '90s rock. With his powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence, Glover helped propel the band's groundbreaking debut Vivid (1988) to critical and commercial success, driven by the iconic anthem "Cult of Personality." His voice-equal parts raw intensity and soulful resonance-has become a defining force in rock, inspiring generations of fans and artists alike and was recently ranked #45 on Billboard's list of The 50 Greatest Rock Lead Singers of All Time. Glover continues to expand the possibilities of modern music while breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations of artists of color.
