Corey Hart (born May 31, 1962) is a Canadian pop singer, songwriter, and record producer who achieved international stardom during the 1980s synth-pop boom. Born in Montreal, Quebec, Hart burst onto the music scene with his debut album 'First Offense' in 1984, which featured the enduring hit single 'Sunglasses at Night'—a song that became synonymous with 1980s pop culture and remains his signature track. His distinctive baritone voice, coupled with innovative synthesizer-driven production and emotionally resonant lyrics, set him apart from his contemporaries. Hart released several successful albums throughout the decade, including 'Boy in the Box' (1985) and 'Fields of Fire' (1986), establishing himself as a major international recording artist. Beyond his musical achievements, Hart's iconic music videos and striking visual presentation made him a MTV staple during the network's golden era. Though his commercial peak was in the 1980s, he has continued performing and recording, maintaining a dedicated fan base and appearing at music festivals and nostalgia tours.
