Are you always the first to jump on the dance floor? If the DJ is playing my song, I am!
How did start your career? I toured with the 90s pop group, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam. I was so young and man, it was a lot of fun! I loved recording and learning how to use my voice in the studio which is why today, recording is never a task. I'm quite quick at it, actually.
You graduated Manhattan’s High School of Performing Arts – the school that inspired the movie, Fame. I remember my mom taking me to see that movie and I said to her "that’s the school I wanna go to!" Music has always been in me. I was singing TV commercials and every song on the radio since as long as I can remember.

The American Superstars show at the Stratosphere Casino & Hotel is excited to announce Corey Melton as the new Michael Jackson tribute artist.
“We’re thrilled to have Corey join our incredible cast. He is an amazing talent with a lot of energy and his resemblance to Michael Jackson is uncanny. Together with his incredible voice and dance moves we have the perfect tribute to the King of Pop,” said Donny Moore, co-producer of American Superstars.
Corey Melton comes to American Superstars with strong roots in the music business, dazzling audiences around the globe from New York City to Las Vegas. His father was a club owner who booked headlining acts like Ike Turner and his vocalist mother worked with legends including Smokey Robinson and James Brown. Melton became an accomplished vocalist long before creating his tribute to Michael Jackson. He was a cast member of the performance company Team 11, a St. Louis based song and dance company produced by KPLR Channel 11. Melton also toured the nation while perfecting his dancing and acting talents and provided the vocals for many cover bands and various recording projects.
While I'm not a professional theater critic and would never pretend to be, I just wanted to share my thoughts on Altar Boyz, the latest production at our community's favorite little stage, Onyx Theatre inside The Rack clothing store at Commercial Center.
Altar Boyz is a popular off-Broadway musical that's been performed around the world since 2005, telling the tale of a five-piece Christian boy band (Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham—he's Jewish) trying to save the audience's souls during their final concert tour stop. Check out the interview with the cast and director Mike Scheneman in our February issue.
Let me just tell you right away that I quite enjoyed it. It wasn't without its faults, which I'll point out in a moment, but it had me smiling and laughing far more than either Mommie Queerest, which I saw back in October, or Naked Boys Singing, which I saw just two weeks ago after its latest cast change. Three of the Altar Boyz (Nolan Christopher, Mark White and Aron Shanley) also starred in NBS, although I certainly wouldn't have minded if the remaining two (Christopher Atup and Taylor Hendricks) had've been in that show as well.
