Beneath the joy lies a story shaped by significant loss.In an era when therapy wasn’t readily offered—and teenage boys weren’t encouraged to talk about grief—Cory turned to music. Music became his language. His friend. His way of processing what he couldn’t say out loud. He began writing songs—about loss, confusion, beauty, and resilience. People listened. Before he finished high school, his music was already reaching others. Through music, Cory learned the power of community—how shared experiences can become chosen family.

Cory Cullinan is a fine musician — a composer and lyricist with an amazingly wide range.

I hope listeners can find something in 2025 Alive that makes them feel grateful and hopeful and happy and sad and angry and tired and a little excited too. Or maybe just one of those.

Footprint feels like stepping into a lucid dream orchestrated by a composer who moonlights as a philosopher.

Cory Cullinan’s experimental masterpiece Footprint is an emotional rollercoaster that invites you to interpret it through your lens. The blueprint was laid out somewhere during Cory’s college days at Stanford University, inspired by the legendary John Chowning. With the help of his former student, Elizabeth Anaya, they brought Footprint to life just in time for a performance in front of Chowning himself, coming full circle in absolute, poetic purity.

Cory Cullinan emerges with an experimental sonic masterpiece on Footprint. Cullinan is a composer who pushes the envelope with his experimental vignettes.
