Not too long ago, Corey Hart was just another good-looking young singer/songwriter struggling to make it. Then, all of a sudden, he hit it big with his first hit, “Sunglasses At Night,” and his career suddenly skyrocketed overnight.
“I’m only 23 years old,” says Hart, “and I have to admit that I’ve been extremely lucky. Stuff has happened very quickly for me in the past two years since 'Sunglasses’ came out.
“I’ve always dreamed of doing what I’m doing now. It was something I wanted to do ever since I was young. When you’re young, you’re very impatient and you want things to happen quickly. So, of course, I’m really happy with the way things are working out for me. I intend to continue working at it and hopefully I’ll just keep getting better and better.”
Though he’s Canadian, it was in the States that Hart got his first real break. When “Sunglasses At Night” was released in Canada, it bombed. It was only after it became a hit in the U.S. that the Canadian stations took notice and started playing it. Now, radio stations on both sides of the border play Corey Hart.
