As a self proclaimed "Club Kid" from the legendary New York City club era of the 1990's Corey honed his craft playing in various bands around the city, doing vocal demo sessions, auditioning for TV and film roles and even become a favorite on the New York City comedy circuit as a stand up comedian. Producers from the BET cable network saw Corey's act at the legendary club, "Carolines" and invited him to perform on their hit TV show "Comic View" in 1999. Emerging as a well rounded entertainer and creative thinker, Corey landed a "day job" position as a creative assistant at Young & Rubicam NY, one of the world's biggest Advertising Agencies. It was here that Corey honed his skills as a writer which would lead to freelance copywriting positions at Sony/BMG Music, Music Choice TV and L'Oreal

Throughout his myriad of accomplishments in media, music production, songwriting and vocal session remained a constant. In 2003 under the direction of Executive Producer, Joseph Bennett corey released his debut full length CD of 12 original soul influenced Rock songs entitled, "We're All Stars" which received favorable press and reviews including a positive review from the reknowned AMG (All Music Guide). All but two of the songs on the "We're All Stars" LP were written by Corey Andrew with some co-written with his childhood songwriting collaborator, Michael Pantaleone of Trenton, New Jersey.

Corey formed a band 2003 in order to tour the northeast and promote the release of "We're all stars". The Corey Andrew band consisted of another of Corey's childhood friends, Michael Reale (Drums), Ricardo Rodriguez (Bass), Alvin Macray (Keyboards), Peter Risano (Lead Guitar) and Corey Andrew (Vocals). The "We're are stars" LP created a buzz on college radio and public radio. Shortly thereafter they were selected by Chrysler Jeep to be featured at the Jacob Javitz Center in New York's prestigious New York Auto Show. In a promotional effort with Sirrus Satellite radio Corey Andrew and his band joined 9 other bands, main stage during the weekend long event having beat out thousands of other bands for inclusion. Chrysler Jeep would next fly the band out to their popular Camp Jeep weekend event in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. There they performed in front of more than 5000 people, joining a line up of up and coming bands and the festival headliner, Michelle Branch.

Within a year, due to personality clashes between some members, the group disbanded incidentally in the midst of northeastern US tour dates. The We're all Stars LP maintained its attraction to indie music stations all over the world and allowed people to be introduced to Corey Andrew's vocal ability and songwriting skills. Among those to discover Corey's talent was the massively popular German Dance music producer and DJ, DaHool who was fresh of the success of his mega international club hit, Meet Her A The Love Parade. He offered Corey Andrew the opportunity to write and sing on club music tracks, a completely different genre from "We're All Stars". Corey accepted and went on to record the club song, Ntensity produced by DaHool (Released in Germany). Next Corey scored a club hit in Germany with Producer Patrick La Funk and was flown over to perform at the Day of the Knights Dance Music Festival in Bochum Germany. Corey would be the only vocalist on the line up along side DJ superstars Tom Novy, Eddie Thoneick, Jean Claude Ades, and more.

Today as respected songwriter with one of most recognizable voices in Dance music Corey has expanded his creative realm even more as a Dance Music DJ, landing two radio mix shows on the popular stations PNN FM Radio in Palm Springs and NRRRadio in Los Angeles. Corey Andrew's DJ mixes are an eclectic blending of progressive house gems, vocals, tribal and classic club favorites - sometimes with his own live vocals during the set.
