BIO

Triple threat & model. Thrilled and honored to be stepping into his dream role as Young Michael. Similar to Young MJ’s beginning, Corey entered and won his first talent competition at only 6yrs old singing “And I Am Telling You.” He recently made Broadway history during his run as Young Simba, for filling in as Young Nala. Thank you: Telsey, Bespoke, MJ casting crew, Sherry Kayne, Nick Roses, and Bonnie Shumofsky for believing in me. Stephanie Alvarenga, Sharra Dade, and Innervisions dance for preparing me. My Grandmother, family and close friends for continually showing love and support. And my Lion King family for being my first examples of theater excellence. Special thank you to my Mother for ALWAYS being by my side and teaching me that not even the sky is a limit! I love you!
