music and songs with great
messages for kid's to learn from.
"The sounds of the 70's come alive with "THE INSECTS ROCK".  The live music
and upbeat CDs are full of catchy tunes about nursery-school life, from battling
boredom to behaving in restaurants. It's bubble gum pop that reminds you to brush
your teeth afterward."

-Cookie Magazine Review

"The Insects" sunshiny pop recalls a British Invasion band or the chipper sounds
of the Beach Boys, but takes on kid concerns like putting away toys and - in "Why
would I wanna wear diapers (when I could wear underpants)?" -potty training"

"If the Monkees, the Beatles and the Partridge Family had collaborated on a rock
album for kids, you'd have a gem just like "The Insects ." With twelve tracks packed
with sweet, poppy, jangly hooks and fun topics to keep kids singing along and
learning, Corey has filled a real need in the world of kid's music that parents will
deeply appreciate. Not only are these quality songs from start to finish but with the
universally appealing retro style, adults- especially those parents who distinctly
recall the hits of the 60s and 70s- can enjoy and relate as well. It's a win-win situation
and it's bound to become a top seller."

"So upbeat and easy to follow - catchy wording!!
My great-grandson is in the beginnings of the potty routine; he laughs and sings
along. Age range is great to include his older sister, making it a family listening time.
Good work Corey - your talent for writing children's songs is remarkable."

- Harriett Chermak

"I love the words and started singing along from the first time I heard this!
Mummy bought this for me, on CDBABY's recommendation, (she says something
about how she hoped it would remind her of the Bugaloos, whatever they are!!?)
and I really love singing to it! The INSECT YOU COLLECTED is BRILLIANT!! Thanks
CDBABY."

- Edie, almost five from Cambridge England

"Love This CD!
I work as a nurse in an ER. One evening a 3 year-old boy, Dylan, came in requiring
sutures to 3 fingers. It is no easy task keeping a child calm and distracted for a
45-minute procedure. I happened to have my copy of
The Insects Band in my car (I
sometimes listen on my way to work- very cheerful music). The CD played while we
sutured little Dylan's fingers- and it worked wonderfully! He loved the songs and we
talked about the different songs while the doctor put in his stitches. Dylan loved the
CD so much I gave him my copy to take home. He was so excited about the CD, I
think he forgot about the injury altogether!"

- Christiann and Dylan

"Fun learning tool for children.  Finally, an artist who has found a way to educate
children in manners as well as day to day life experiences with song. Catchy lyrics
and music allow children to follow along and learn at the same time. A must have for
all children."

- Dan Southard

"Entertainment with Great Messages.  I played this CD at a family picnic..the kids
loved it and danced. Of course they giggled for "Why Would I Want to Wear Diapers."
My favorite song is "The Insect You've Collected" My niece likes to sing along
together in the car. The thing I loved most is when I was taking a walk with my niece
and her friend- they stumbled upon a caterpillar. Her friend wanted to pick it up and
take it home- but my niece says "No- he is happy here and if you take him he won't
be able to find his Mommy and Daddy." It is nice to know that the songs on this CD
are not only entertaining, but educating as well."

- Christi

"I Love this CD and I know all the words to the songs!  This is my favorite CD! I listen
to it at home and with my headphones in the car. My favorite songs are: "The Insect
You've collected" (my favorite insects to collect are ladybugs & snails), "Why would I
wanna wear diapers" and "Some reasons we go to school". I know all the words and
sing along with the music. Corey's songs Rock!"

- Dylan Joscak

"Referred by a friend, was so impressed I immediately ordered a copy for a friend in
the midst of potty training (her child that is). My children love it, and I find myself
singing along ...even after the CD and my children are asleep for the night!"

- Jackie

"This is a funny, entertaining, and educational tool for children. Every song has a
lesson, and Corey has a gift for wrapping these lessons in catchy melodies that will
stay in your head for days! All I can say is- "WOW!!!!"

- Shannon Hurley

"This is a great CD for kids!  What an appealing little collection of songs! It's fun and
friendly, but it also teaches critical lessons and values we all want our children to
receive. Just look at the titles! What parent wouldn't want this for their kids?"

-Garret Swayne

I love it! I love it! - Elena, age 4
Since I started playing this CD, my kids, 2 and 4, demand to hear the "new music".
Their current favorite is "the Mr. Poop song", actually titled "Why would I wanna
wear diapers (when I could wear underpants)" and my 4 year old giggles
uncontrollably whenever she hears it and excitedly confided to her best friend
about it. My 2 year old yells "Diaper song, diaper song!" I also really enjoy listening
to all of the songs on this CD; it is a fabulous, educational and fun collection of
energetic and positive songs about respect, self esteem, and other things you want
your child to know.

- Marie

"Greatest kids stuff i ever heard. Puts education of manners in song.
I think this music is catchy for everyone especially children and the lyrics are
perfectly put to make kids understand things in a fun way."

- Nikki
I hadn't planned to be writing and
recording music for kids and families, but
 after many years of perseverance and
development as a songwriter/musician I
began to regularly pray the Heavens
would use me in the best possible way...

I believe it was through this intention to
serve that I was discovered and signed to
write the songs for a new children's
musical that  began touring the U.S. in
December 2006. After I had fulfilled that
contract, I began creating "
The Insects"
series.

I am humbled and grateful to serve in this
way, an unexpected privilege and joy,
contributing to the happiness and
well-being of so many kids and families.

Thank you for being alive!
