January News Update

I've begun working on volume 4. I'm more motivated than ever to create and produce great works. Many of you know, I hadn't planned to be writing/recording songs for kids/families. It truly is an unexpected joy and privilege to be contributing to the happiness and well-being of so many youngest of the young and their parents. I'm often asked something along these lines..."How are you writing such amazing songs for children when you yourself don't have any kids?" The answer is multi-fold...I've been working my craft as a songwriter/musician for many years, my style has always been catchy, sweet, retro and light pop/rock and didn't fit in with the angst ridden teen/adult market. I've learned that whether a person is 4, 14, 24, 34 or 44, the human brain is pretty much the same. Everyone wants to be happy, safe, fulfilled, important, loved, respected, etc...and everyone experiences frustration, sadness, lack, you get the point. Also, I remember what it's like to be a kid and I've babysat for a friend which gave me some song ideas. I often ask parents "What would you most want your kids to hear in a song?...More especially so that you wouldn't have to get mad/upset at them, a song that you could play over and over in the car or wherever that could dissolve the problem, even before it began....About three years ago I began praying and meditating regularly in this manner "Use me, What's the best we can do with me?" "How can I help?" "What's the greatest, most helpful demonstration I can make in the world?" About that time, a friend overheard a producer/director wishing he could find the right composer to write the songs for a musical for children/families he intended to produce. This friend said "excuse me, I think I know just the guy..." 3 and a half years later the first U.S. tour of "A Kids Life" www.akidslife.com (Music and lyrics by Corey Leland) began on December 27th. 1500, 1800 seat theaters, many of which also house such Nationally branded shows as "Sesame Street" and "Dora the Explorer". After completing an amazing batch of 13 songs upon which the musical would be/is built, I began my new series THE INSECTS ROCK! With songs such as "Why would I wanna wear diapers" and "Mommy won't get you everything" and "You're gonna do great things" I began formulating characters and a concept for a helpful new t.v. show that both pre-school children and their parents could enjoy together. A new business team is forming around me and I am very excited about the future. Visit me on myspace, www.myspace.com/iloveinsectsrock for the latest updates. Wishing you a happy and peaceful 2007. :D Love and Light, Corey Leland
