Corbin Bleu began his career at an early age as a model for major U.S. retailers 1 and designer Tommy Hilfiger, later adding singing and dancing to his repertoire 2. Corbin rose to fame in the [U.S. cable TV] Disney Channel original movies "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2." Earlier this year, Corbin released "Another Side," his debut 3 album. VOA's Larry London recently sat down with Corbin Bleu on tour.
Corbin Bleu is one of today's most popular performers for children around the world. An estimated 50 million fans saw him in the wildly-popular "High School Musical" films. Corbin never imagined the films would do so well, winning a Billboard 4 Award, three Teen Choice Awards, and two Emmy Awards, including one for Outstanding Choreography.
"The whole phenomenon that it's (the films) becoming ... and the Emmy's ... going to London and Australia ... and the Billboard Awards. And now we've had a cross-country [U.S.] tour, and we toured in South America. Now I have my own album, and all this that has happened from it. There was no way it could have been expected."
Corbin, who played a best-friend character named Chad in the "High School Musical" films, explains the messages on personal development the movies attempt to convey.
"Since the movie, we've grown up, and the audience has grown up. As a project it's continued to grow. So, you can see a little bit, I mean it still definitely has the same wholeness, and the same "positivity" as the first one [High School Musical] had. But in this one ["High School Musical 2"], the musical is a little more modern, and the whole storyline, the message is, kind of, growing up and preparing for the future, while still not losing who you are and your own self-morals."
Although Corbin is only 18 years old, he has big career ambitions.
"I want to do everything. I would, truthfully, love to do another album. I would love to go do some features, and play very different characters, a whole different array 5 of them. I would love to work (on) Broadway...and hopefully direct and produce, go on some more tours. I love everything."
