He picked up the harmonica at the age of 12 and honed his skills by watching real bluesmen such as Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf perform live. From the end of the 70s, he worked professionally, joining bands with Tail Drugger, Louis Myers, and Eddie Taylor. In 1981, he moved to Phoenix, Arizona, and joined Louisiana Red's band for about a year. When Red moved to Europe, Corito joined Big Pete Pierson's band. There, he made many friends with musicians, and in 1991 he opened the club "Rhythm Room" in his hometown. From there, he invited many famous musicians such as Bo Diddley, Little Milton, Jimmie Rodgers, and Pinetop Perkins to perform and record live. In 1999, he released his first album of these recordings, "All-Star Blues Sessions," from Hi-Tone. Since then, he has consistently released sessions with numerous artists that he had recorded over the years as the "From the Volts" series, winning many awards, including the Blues Music Awards.
