Stephanie Luby was born on November 14, 1976, in New York City, New York, United States. She gained public attention through her marriage to Corey Taylor, the renowned musician, actor, and songwriter best known as the lead vocalist for Slipknot and Stone Sour.
Corey Taylor was born on December 8, 1973, in Des Moines, Iowa, at Broadlawns Medical Center. He was raised primarily by his single mother after his father left shortly after his birth. His upbringing in Waterloo, Iowa, was marked by financial hardship, and Taylor has openly described his family home as dilapidated and visually reminiscent of a Black Sabbath album cover.
Raised in a music-enthusiastic household, Taylor was introduced to rock and roll through his grandmother’s collection of Elvis Presley records. Recognizing his passion for music, she eventually became his legal guardian and supported his musical ambitions by purchasing equipment to aid his development as a musician. His grandfather also played a role in nurturing his love for rock 'n' roll.
Corey's teenage years were turbulent; by the age of 15, he struggled with drug addiction and survived a cocaine overdose. After this episode, he moved in with his grandmother, marking a turning point in his life. Despite believing he would never meet his biological father, Taylor reconnected with him in 2003 at the age of 30—a moment that received considerable media coverage in the United States.
Renowned for his vocal talent, Corey Taylor is known to possess one of the widest vocal ranges in rock music, reportedly spanning five and a half octaves.
