Corry Bell
Musician in Los Angeles, California
When lead singer, Corry Bell, was a little girl, her parents would have her sing for relatives and friends which lead to her involvement in school musicals and choir events. After high school she met Yeshua (Jesus) and quickly began a lifetime of ministry in the arts, using her experience in music as a backdrop. In 1987 she hosted a cable TV music video program in Southern California called “Rock Of Ages” where she conducted artist interviews and introduced videos for the show. She has made numerous appearances on stage and in local television programs and even worked for a Christian radio station for a season.
To her great surprise, Corry found out she had an extensive Jewish family history, not known to her before 2002. After 22 years in the church it became apparent she had to find a way to reconcile her belief in Yeshua with her Jewishness. In the spring of 2003 she began to attend Beth Emunah Messianic Synagogue, connected with her Jewish identity, joined the worship team there and accepted the position of Music Director in the fall of 2004.
Corry's first experiences with the band she helped create, Lev Shelo, included leading worship at the MJAA Southwest Regional conference for 5 years and Messiah Conference in Pennsylvania in 2007 & 2008, opening for such artists as Paul Wilbur, Marty Goetz, Ted Pearce and Joel Chernoff. The band's debut CD, “Or HaOlam”, released in August of 2010, is the result of these experiences and the many requests from congregations all over the world to make their music available. She also co-produced the band’s first CD as well as their second project, “Proclamation” and is the Executive Producer of their highly-acclaimed music video production, “Hashivenu Elecha”. As a side-bar, Corry is a journalist for the international newspaper, The Messianic Times.
Corry resides in Southern California with her husband, Michael, and their daughter, Michaela. They have four other grown children; Beau (may he Rest In Peace), Nick, Chris and Jenny. Her heart's desire is to see lives changed through the redemptive work of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) in the person of Yeshua (Jesus), the Messiah, to the Jew first and to all the world.
