"Can't you just take a good look?" Take a good look at singer, songwriter, actress, and model, Corey Golden.

Between guitar, recording, singing, and starting up her career, Corey has been working hard to accomplish her dreams. "I've been crazy busy, but I'm enjoying every minute of it," Corey says. "I can't wait to release my first album."

Corey's highly anticipated first album is in the works and she's hoping it will be released by the end of this year. In the meantime, Corey has been writing some songs for her EP, which will be out within the next few months. Corey describes the album as "pop/rock with great lyrics that everyone can relate to."

All of Corey's songs have a great message. Her catchy first song, "Reflection," touches on speaking your mind in a relationship. The empowering "Another You" discusses staying true to yourself no matter who trys to change you. "I love my first two songs because they are just so empowering. They teach you to stand up for yourself no matter what, and I think that is definitely a great motto to live by," Corey explains.

Corey describes "Turn Around" as a "ballad with a pop/rock edge to it." "Turn Around really comes from my heart. I went through a tough move this year, and this song describes the pain in leaving all my friends behind. But, I can "turn around" and still find these friends having my back, even though I'm not living near them anymore."

Writing songs comes naturally to Corey. "I love being able to write my own music! The process completely fascinates me...my songs all start in my journal, just lyrics and a tune. In the studio, I see my music come to life. It's an incredible feeling."

Since she was born on November 7, 1991, Corey was passionate about music. When she landed the lead role of Carmen in the opera "Carmen" at her school, Corey discovered her love for singing, acting, and being on stage. She started taking piano, voice, acting, and dance lessons. Quickly finding her first agency, Corey booked her first couple acting jobs with Cartoon Network, where she was in a pilot called "On the Spot" and did a segment with the Jonas Brothers. She booked her first modeling job for a national Walmart ad, and quickly after booked a fashion show for Ziami. She also booked a clothing ad for Skirt! magazine. "Everything started happening so fast! Before I knew it, I had a notebook full of songs, a full resume, and I knew exactly what I wanted to do," Corey says.

Before she knew it, Corey was in the studio for the first time, recording a demo for Lindsay Lohan called Close the Door which she co-wrote. Though the demo was never finished, Corey realized her true passion for songwriting and being in the studio recording. "I feel at home in the studio. Sometimes, I have to be in there (the studio) for hours and hours, and it doesn't bother me at all. I just love it."

When asked by TBA Radio why she thinks people have taken on to her the way they have, Corey just laughs. "You know, myspace is amazing. Your music can be heard all around the world, just through a simple website. I have people from Germany and England messaging me saying how much they like my music. It's incredible! I feel like I write about things that people can really relate to, whether it's an eight year old or a twenty year old. I'm just glad they like it!"

So, take a good look, because this girl is just getting started! And it looks like she's going to be around for awhile. "This is what I love to do, and I'm so happy doing it," Corey says smiling. "I want to have a long career. I don't want to be one of those girls who comes and goes. I'm just so excited to get my record out, and I'm so grateful to all my fans!"
