About
Electrifying guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has taken the instrumental funk scene by storm! Known for his vibrant stage presence and distinctive sound, WONG has carved out a unique niche in the music world, fusing elements of jazz, rock, and funk into a genre-defying style that keeps listeners grooving. Each note he plays is a testament to his dedication and passion for music — a passion that resonates deeply with vinyl collectors and music enthusiasts alike.
In addition to his thriving solo career, he is a key member of VULFPECK and THE FEARLESS FLYERS.
Upon meeting Cory, VULFPECK welcomed him as a frequent collaborator and member of the band, and later the group named their most popular instrumental track “Cory Wong” in tribute. Lighting up the stage in the band everywhere they perform, including most recently at a sold-out Madison Square Garden, he remains a cornerstone of VULFPECK’s storied gigs.
Cory has blossomed into a celebrated artist in his own right, releasing solo albums including last year’s Billboard top 20 record Motivational Music For The Syncopated Soul, Elevator Music for an Elevated Mood and most recently Live In Amsterdam’ With The Metropole Orkest, which charted at #10 on the Billboard Jazz Chart.
Head-spinning rhythm guitar wizardry, technical ebullience, laugh-out-loud jokes, and radiance on stage established him as both a sought-after collaborator and celebrated solo artist alike.
