Volunteer

Volunteer is the brainchild of singer/songwriter Cory Quintard. Shortly after starting Volunteer and recording the first EP in Orlando, FL in 2014 Quintard packed up his things and moved to Nashville that same year to pursue his passion playing music full-time. In February 2015 he independently released his debut EP, 'The World Will Begin Again’—produced by Jeremiah Dunlap at Emissary Studios, mixed by Jon Howard (producer/engineer, former touring member of Paramore) and mastered by Sam Moses—which gained a great listenership on Spotify and Soundcloud. The EP's namesake single was quickly streamed over 100,000 times with follow up singles "Somebody's Everything" and "Waking Up" also breaking the 100,000 mark within the year. The music video for "The World Will Begin Again", released along with the album, performed well on YouTube with over 10,000 views on its own. The success of the debut EP translated into album sales and eventually a licensing deal from The Music Bed, the micro-licensing site based in Fort Worth, TX. Performances at The High Watt, The Basement, Mercy Lounge, The Back Corner and Musicians Corner followed along with being one of three musical guests at the nation's premier conference for creatives and storytellers---Story Conference.
