British singer-songwriter Corinne Jacqueline Bailey Rae, who was born on February 26, 1979, is thought to be worth $8 million. Prior to switching to singing, Corinne Bailey Rae started her musical training by learning the violin. She spent a lot of her early singing time in churches, just like many pop and soul performers. She belonged to a Brethren congregation that she believes was “totally sexist.” The a cappella singing produced “amazing harmonies.”
Helen
Corinne Bailey Rae first heard classic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Radiohead while she was a teenager. She was motivated to start Helen, an all-female indie rock band.
