In an Unfiltered world exclusive, the chart-topping DJ @JoelCorry opens up on his record-breaking highs and heart-breaking lows as he shrugged off his reality TV baggage and overcame record industry doubts to become one of the biggest names in music, but how success has not come without serious sacrifice
TV star. Celebrity boyfriend. Fitness cover model.
Joel Corry has been known for a number of different things in the decade since he burst onto our screens in MTV's reality television programme "Geordie Shore".
But since his breakout summer in 2019 Joel Corry has been known around the world as a chart-topping, globe-trotting DJ whose poised to assume his place in the pantheon of global legends, alongside Calvin Harris, David Guetta and Tiësto, whose music has us moving in our millions.
From the outside, thanks to social media, it seems success has come easily to Joel. But is that really the reality?
As part of the #Unfiltered Under The Skin interview series, Unfiltered editor-in-chief Joe Warner, who has known Joel Corry since he was a physique athlete working as an ambassador for sports supplement brand Optimum Nutrition, flew to Ibiza where Joel has a weekly summer residency at Ibiza Rocks, to discover exactly what it’s taken - after more than a decade of setbacks and sacrifices - to finally have his moment in the sun.
In an open, honest and raw conversation, Joel reveals:
- the heartbreaking moment his mum - his biggest supporter - openly questioned whether he had what it takes to get the top
- how it felt to drive halfway across the UK to do gigs and have no one show up
- his struggle to convince record bosses he could be taken seriously as a DJ, as his reality TV background hindered rather than helped his career get off the ground
- how he’s had to sacrifice romantic relationships, and his fears of leaving it too late to have the family he craves, to put his professional ambitions ahead of his personal dreams
- how his friends and family have had to accept a backseat in his jet-set life; - his strategies in dealing with an insane travel schedule that includes weekly transatlantic flights to DJ in Europe and the US
- how he maintains his shredded cover model physique year round despite living in hotels and out of a suitcase, and much more.
