King of the Keys

Long time composer and genius of the keys Chick Corea has been recording for the past 40 years. Musical styles ranging from avant-garde to bebop and flamenco (with his band Touchstone), from children’s songs to straight ahead, from hard-hitting fusion to heady forays into classical.

In his career his accumulated around 100+ albums to his name, his last album released just this year was based on and inspired by the L. Ron Hubbard novel "The Ultimate Adventure." This is second album inspired by one of L. Ron Hubbard's, Founder of Scientology, ficiton novels, the first by the name of the To the Stars where he reunited his Elektric Band for tour and recording of the album.

He sais about Scientology:


The single greatest thing that studying Scientology has done for me is that it’s helped me become freer. Freer to create life as I want to, without being thrown off from my objectives. One of the first simple successes was that I learned to handle and remove my own self-imposed barriers and restraints. Through further study, my ability to handle life around me also increased. This freedom has been hard-won, but the rewards are great.
My study of Scientology has also enabled me to write more music. I have become quicker and am able to use all of the musical abilities that I already have. I gained a new understanding of what the proper importances are in the process of creating music.
Scientology has helped me to live better. Using the basic principles of Scientology has become a natural way of life for me. From Scientology, I’ve gotten a freedom to learn whatever I want to learn in life and I’m gaining new abilities all the time.
From the Scientology Effective Solutions site.


This prolific musician and active Scientologist, now 65 years old, is not stopping now, keep your eye on the future with this one -- with Chick, there's always more to come.

Scientology in Music?

I'm a fan of music myself and I've noticed a huge amount of varying types of music coming out of Scientologists and Scientology projects.

For example on the site for the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre there are number of artists from Kate Ceberano (home page) to Justin Meldal-Johnsen and from The Jive Aces to Beck.

Not to mention the music grounds of Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard, taking just as an example L.R.H.'s work Music and Theater.
