Biography

"Korby is like the Love Boat's cruise director Julie, as played by Joan Jett." - Las Vegas Weekly (2005)

E. Korby is a one-woman idea factory. Some are good, some are bad. But she keeps coming up with them, the crazy ideas.

After working in the music business for several years in New York City, and living in Vegas from 2003-2009 where she shifted much of her focus to television production, Korby is finally bringing herself back to where it all began: the stage.

She has created a musical theatrical stage adaptation of a popular cult cartoon series from the 1980's. She has co-created a few fab television concepts which are perpetually in the "development" stage. She sings her tuchus off at clubs like B.B. Kings and Le Poisson Rouge. She slings a mean cocktail and is also in the "development" process with an idea that would allow many people to drink these coktails in one place, at the same time. Yes...Korby is in the process of working on all of these things, and will be updating her friends and acquaintances via facebook or twitter (thekorbinator), if you care...
