Cory Lee is a dangerous multi-threat actress, singer, songwriter, dancer and model. Initially her music caught fire in the clubs across Canada, and radio soon followed with her first single "The Naughty Song" (from her debut album What A Difference A Day Makes). This was just the beginning for Cory with a 2006 nomination for a Juno Award, in addition to a 2006 Indie Music Award for Pop Artist of The Year and 2 Canadian Radio Music Awards. Her sophomore album Sinful Innocence was released through WIDEawake/Universal in June of 2007, and through WIDEawake/Village Again in Japan in July. She has also joined the cast of the teen drama series Instant Star, by Degrassi producers Epitome Pictures, playing the role of Karma. Featuring production from multi-platinum and 3-time Juno Award winner Perry Alexander (Keshia Chante, Shawn Desman) and KUYA (Nelly, Ginuwine, MASE), Sinful Innocence enthusiastically explores society’s "good girl/bad girl" double-standard from Cory’s own independent liberal perspective.

I am please to announce that a song I co-wrote and featured on is nominated for a Canadian Radio Music Award (http://www.cmw.net/cmw2009/awards_crma.asp). The awards will be handed out on March 7th at a fancy lunch during Canadian Music Week and will be hosted by Sass Jordan. The song is called “Fallin In Love With You” by Ish featuring yours truly and was written by Ish, Rob Wells, Christopher Anderson and moi. The song is nominated in the BEST NEW GROUP/SOLO ARTIST (DANCE/URBAN/RHYTHMIC) OF THE YEAR CATEGORY. Canadian Radio Awards nominees are based on airplay on radio stations across Canada. Radio stations then get to vote for their favourite. Nominated along side Ish are Danny Fernandes, Kreesha Turner and Di’Ji. Ish and I will be attending and I’ll give you the inner scoop. I am excited to go because I attended as a nominee for 2 Radio Awards in 2006, presented in 2007 with Jdiggz, and it’s always a great time.

Instant Star Episode 410 - Ghost of Mine!!!
Aug 14, 2008

Sadly the airing of new episodes are coming to an end here in Canada and have already finished elsewhere. I loved working on Instant Star so much!!! Here's a little more Instant Star trivia for all you junkies. Karma’s dog ChiChi was actually named Taco and sadly passed away right after we wrapped the 4th season. I fell in love with Taco and it actually inspired me to buy my own Chihuahua which I named Quincy Bones!!! My hair in the Chinese outfit was actually 2 massive hairpieces. They were really heavy and my head was hurting like crazy by the end of day. Wardrobe made the matching outfit for Taco. The egg that was thrown in my face was real and was made the night before and was cold and extra wet so it would stick to my hair. Yuck :( The song that Karma sings "Ghost of Mine" was my favorite song that I got to sing on the show. The dancers in this episode (Danny and Tuch) were my actual dancers from Dodat Entertainment (http://www.dodat.com/) and can be seen on most of my videos, like on the video for Ovaload (http://youtube.com/watch?v=A7BkqZvEptA). The zipper in the dress I wore while performing in the episode actually broke as I was dancing so they had to sew me in!!! lol!! The dress Laura wore at the casino was actually her own!! I loved it on her and I know she got it at bebe. You can watch the mini for Ghost of Mine (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q48oejzh1nc). It was so fun to make and I loved working with Cassie and Laura. It was actually filmed on the final day of shooting Instant Star. It was a great last day and I'll never forget it!! Hope you like the slideshow (http://www.slide.com/r/Ckfcxkkq4z9bAeFBfnr1Bfeay9H_vg2w?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original).
Honoring Some Legends :)
Aug 6, 2008
This past week I had the privilege to attend a special eTalk taping honoring Linda Schyler (one of the producers of Degrassi and Instant Star). There were special messages for her from some big name celebrities like Will Ferrell and the Jonas Brothers. Plus they showed clips of all her television achievements. I had a great time and the special will air later in August. Check out the eTalk slideshow at http://www.slide.com/r/pHmtdx6G7j-CjiJFBMeD3dJlPQPDWy9B?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original I also had the pleasure of opening up for Tiffany in Pittsburgh last Friday. I loved her song "I Think We're Alone Now" and it was a blast to see her perform. After the show I painted the town red at some of the local clubs and had a great time. But waking up early to catch a flight was very hard. Check the Pittsburgh slideshow for some behind the scenes pics from this event too at http://www.slide.com/r/9Xk_z-JM7z9PvvBK-SPvi-340FEPWA-j?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original
Instant Star Bridezilla
Jun 19, 2008
If you missed any of the episodes on TV, you can catch them after they air on the CTV Broadband website if you live in Canada. At the CTV website (http://www.instantstar.ctv.ca/index.jsp) you can also watch minis and behind the scenes, videos as well as all the older season episodes. Many of this seasons minis have been uploaded to YouTube and you get many of the links through my YouTube account (http://www.youtube.com/coryleemusic), including We Got To Get It Back (mini #4), where Karma torments Spied as the video director from hell. You can also watch video clips, listen to songs from episodes, and view photos at The-N Channel website (http://www.the-n.com/ntv/shows/index.php?id=511). Epitome producer Stephen Stohn’s myspace blog (http//www.myspace.com/stephenstohn) has recently announced the Season 4 Soundtrack. You may have watched Episode 402: She Drives Me Crazy, the episode where Spied and Karma get married. Well here’s some behind the scenes trivia for you. Did you notice that Karma does a lot of crying? To help actors cry, they use fans to blow air at your eyes. This makes your eyes tear. With a bit of acting, voila, instant crying. And did you catch Karma’s wedding dress? The wedding dress was bought at an outlet. In Toronto, there is a lot of great outlet shopping and the wedding dress was purchased on a street called Orfus Road. It has a lot of good deals. At the end of the season I was blessed to keep a lot of my clothes but for some reason I didn’t take the wedding dress. I figured that I probably wouldn’t wear it again lol!!! During the episode, reality TV makes a stop at Karma’s family home. During the auditioning process for Instant Star, I was asked all kinds of background information ... and art does imitate life. I grew up in a warm family home, my dad is German and my mom is Chinese. I don’t have two younger sisters, but Karma’s two little sisters (both half Chinese) could easily have been my sister and I, we did a lot of dress up and performed constantly for our parents. Of course I would have been the little sister with the red cowboy boots - I always loved shoes. There is a pan of family photos in Karma’s house. When the writers and directors were planning the episode they asked for a dozen of so photos from my childhood, so my mom sent a whole bunch. I took a bunch of photos on set that day to show my mom. I hope you enjoy the slideshow from that film day (http://www.slide.com/r/XHP1uBs33j_43KkYJpYZUlJypUe71-wq?previous_view=mscd_embedded_url&view=original). Another bit of info - Instant Star shoots 2 episodes at the same time, 4 days per episode. On our first day of filming Tyler and I shot all the closet scenes for 401 and 402. The actual wedding scene was shot last. Sometimes in a day we can jump around a lot to different episodes with scenes from anywhere in them!
