Corby's earliest musical memory is being driven past a guitar shop as a five-year-old and being captivated by the rows of shiny instruments in the window. His father John bought his son a three-quarter acoustic guitar for $80, on which Corby started having one lesson a week. The first song he learned to play was "Greensleeves". Corby attended Inaburra School in Bangor, New South Wales where he grew up steeped in gospel; his passion for music fed first by renditions of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" and later by a love for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Corby attended Shirelive church with his family.
