Personal life Born and raised in Middlesbrough, Corner moved to London in the mid-90s to pursue his education at Goldsmiths, University of London then at Queen Mary University of London before changing his focus to creating music full time. After Sneaker Pimps went on hiatus, he moved from London to Berlin in 2006, where he set up an IAMX studio for music and visual work until 2014.

However, after battling chronic insomnia and depression, IAMX left Berlin and moved to California, later stating: "I needed a big change of scenery. I had a few friends in Los Angeles and it seemed like the most relevant place for me, so I got on a boat and sailed over to the States." He now lives in a remote location in Southern California.

Corner is autistic.
