As a Michael Jackson celebrity impersonator, I provide all the mannerisms, vocals, and moves, while pulling off the whole look of the one of the greatest artists ever! I can can also put on a full length performance for a wedding, party, major show production, and so much more. You can even hire me to simply mingle with the crowd and take pictures with your guests at a private function. Some artists will not sing live and use Michael's voice, but I will use my voice only, making the performance more realistic and authentic. Please let me know if I can be of service to you. Performances can be tailored to meet your needs!
We hired Corey to sing as Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson at a high school after graduation party. The party was in a high school gym complex with 300 busy teenagers moving around and in and out of the gym where Corey was singing. This was not a typical concert setting, but Corey handled it so well. From the beginning, in the months before the party, he answered all my questions quickly and scheduled a phone call to go over details before the event. He visited the party location a day early to see the set up and arrived to the party early to connect with our sound guy. It was evident that Corey cared greatly about doing an excellent job for us. Corey's singing was fantastic. He ended up not being able to use the stage, but it didn't phase Corey. He moved his concert to the gym floor and moved around as he sang. The kids enjoyed his performance and would dance along when he sang a favorite song. The parent chaperones also enjoyed his singing and were especially excited about Michael Jackson being at the event. Overall, Corey was professional, easy to work with, flexible, and fun to hear sing. I would definitely recommend him for another event.
From start to finish Corey was AMAZING! He was very responsive and open to our needs. We had Corey record 3 promos for our members to get them excited about stopping by our booth at a conference; he did an amazing job! The day of the conference he was prompt, present and energetic. Everyone loved talking with him and taking their picture with "Bruno". I would recommend Corey to anyone, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely keep Corey in mind for any other event that we host.
Prince was a huge hit for our Rock of Ages night, very open and fun with the crowd, brought props and an amazing outfit, thanks for coming out!
Corey is amazing! I got the last minute idea to have a Prince impersonator at my wedding to perform our entrance song and also to perform a few songs during cocktail hour and stick around for pictures with guests, and Corey definitely delivered! He always responded super quick, was very helpful in coordinating the performance, and his performance was awesome. He's got Prince's looks and attitude down perfectly, and was great at getting the energy going! On top of that, he and his assistant were very kind and sweet. Our guests were blown away by him and they loved that he was around to keep everything fun. I am so happy that he was a part of our wedding, and he definitely made the day everything I wanted. I think something would have been missing without him, so it means the world to me that he was so gracious, helpful, and fantastic.
MJ was amazing and fabulous!!!!! Thank you for making the party memorable!
I'm amazed at how many impressions this man has mastered. His performance as the legendary Prince was phenomenal. I hired him as an anniversary surprise for my hubby, who by the way is the biggest Prince fan and very hard to please. He was soooo impressed. Thanks so much, Corey. You've created a memory that will last a lifetime!
Cory is talented, personal and professional. He performed for my group of people who have developmental disabilities. The clients, family members and staff were in amazement while watching his incredible MJ show.
We were very impressed. He is very talented and professional
Not at all what we expected. We were told we would have 3 songs for 15 minutes and then pictures. Michael needed a 10 minute break after 2 songs and then offered me half my money back if I didn't make him sing the 3rd song. He said we hadn't disclosed the size of our banquet which was at 100 people like my request said. He refused to sing the last song unless the kids at the banquet ages 6 to 12 were silent. When he did sing he sang along to a Michael Jackson cd and mostly danced forgetting to sing when he did. The pictures were good. I would not book this impersonator again.
I hired Corey for my wife's surprise birthday party and he was absolutely amazing. He was prompt, prepared and the consummate professional. Corey's performance was exceptional and he stayed in character throughout the evening. My wife felt that he made her birthday extremely memorable and was a tremendous hit with all of the guests.
I held the party at Kemoll's Italian Restaurant at the Top of the Metropolitan Building downtown St. Louis, which is an exquisite dining establishment with the greatest view of the St. Louis Arch grounds and downtown St. Louis. Corey's Michael Jackson impersonation was the highlight of the evening. I would highly recommend Corey for any occasion and very reasonable.

GigSalad made it VERY easy...direct communication with Corey (aka MICHAEL JACKSON). They supplied the information that made it easy to actually check out "the" person I would be hiring. Then I was put in DIRECT contact with COREY and we communicated and planned direct between the two of us. I hired COREY for our Company Christmas party of 80+ people... very diverse crowd and I can say that it was a WIN WIN WIN !! COREY was *amazing*... like overly amazing. This Party has been pegged as "the" BEST Christmas Party of all time :-) COREY was amazing to work with, communicated by email, text, whatever...in making plans, coordinating show, etc... He worked directly with my DJ, to assure they were both in sync, taking that burden off my shoulders. Dealing directly WITH the artist was key. COREY has an amazing talent and represents the late-great Michael Jackson PERFECTLY. COREY does MJ great justice, to say the least. The fact that COREY also sang all the songs, *no lip syncing*, made it even more perfect. Again, it felt like we had a private concert by Michael Jackson - amazing voice, perfect dance moves, upbeat, and performing *the* most popular of MJ's hits... he was amazing and I'm not sure how I can top this for the 2015 Christmas Party. He related with the Crowd VERY well, walked thru, shook hands, participated in photo ops, sat and visited with people....danced with some of our associates "after" the performance. Truly awesome! I felt honored, after actually witnessing his talent, to even have had the easy opportunity to have him entertain for us. His is WELL worth more than the fee charged thru this website. If I could give 10 STARS+ I certainly would.
Response from Michael Jackson Impersonator:
Thank you for your review of OUR performance. I used the word "our", because when the client does their part in collaborating with me with such professionalism from the start, it helps the event go as it should. When partnerships in any kind of business agreements have a rough start, a domino effect tends to occur, which can be hard but not impossible to reverse. But this client was on time from the start and I did my part, and "together", it went exceptionally well! I won't take all the glory. We both did our fair share. I truly value the opinions of my clients and am committed to bringing my best to every performance. Thank you, I am grateful for all of my reviews!!
I cannot say enough good things about how awesome Cory was as Michael Jackson at my twins birthday party. Not only did he wow the kids but the parents too. He danced and sang to perfection of MJ. The next day parents were telling me how they had to explain to their children that MJ did not rise from the grave. I want him to do Prince and my birthday party.

As a Michael Jackson celebrity impersonator, I will provide all the mannerisms, vocals, and moves, while pulling off the whole look of the one of the greatest artists ever! I can perform on my own or with a band. Performances include weddings, parties, major show productions, and so much more. You can even hire me to simply mingle with the crowd and take pictures with your guests at a private function. Some artists will perform vocals live while others might lip sync, but I will sing it exactly like Michael did, using my voice only and singing live. Performances can be tailored to meet your needs!
After winning 2 back to back talent shows in high school, Corey went on to work in St. Louis for KPLR Channel 11’s group called Team 11. The group was reminiscent of the Mickey Mouse Club. There were 400 people who came out to audition for the team. Team 11 performed for a presidential inauguration, and performed for many other events such as the Cardinals Winter Warm Up.
From there, Corey flew to Atlanta to work with producers on his debut recording project. Some of the collaborations there were with music industry veterans, and number one hit writers like Arnold Hennings and Patrick “J.Que” Smith. Patrick was one of the writers for Usher’s biggest hit, “Yeah”.
In the early 2000's, Corey worked to create a name for himself back in his hometown in the STL, by fronting numerous cover bands that have performed at casinos, weddings, parties, etc. During this time he also was the runner up in the St. Louis Idol contest that was in connection with American Idol.
Corey was the Michael Jackson impersonator who closed the show nightly at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas during 2010 and in 2011. He was known for his live vocals and energetic dancing. From there, he went on to work for Legends in Concert, and was given opportunities to work as an impersonator again as Michael Jackson and also as Bruno Mars. He's performed for Legends in Concert in Hawaii, Canada, Las Vegas, New Jersey, Ohio, Atlantic City, and Branson, Missouri. Corey as an actor has worked in TV commercials, film and on Hawaii-5-0, and he has been in the entertainment industry now for 26 years.

Meet Ron Crites George Jones look alike and sound like impersonator. Not another costume character Ron Crites is one of the number one George Jones Tribute artists…
William said “Great performance...everyone enjoyed and the 80 birthday lady and her friends love the entire show. Highly recommended for any Elvis fans.”
Clint F. said “You absolutely made the Party! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! From the second we met in the parking lot to the final farewell song you were in character!…”
