iCarly stars Miranda Cosgrove as Carly Shay, a teenager who lives with her twenty-something brother/guardian Spencer (Jerry Trainor) and produces webcasts from a makeshift loft studio with pals Sam (Jennette McCurdy) and Freddie (Nathan Kress). iCarly is TV's only scripted series ever to let kids contribute by incorporating videos they created to showcase their unusual talents.
Cosgrove, 14, nabbed her first TV series and feature film at age nine: She was cast first as Megan Parker, the deceptively sweet, scamming sister on Drake & Josh's and soon after as Summer Hathaway, the over-achieving preppy manager of Jack Black's rock band on the big screen in School of Rock. Her other film credits include the '05 feature-film release Yours, Mine and Ours from Paramount Pictures/Nickelodeon Movies and Keeping up with the Steins.
iCarly was created by Dan Schneider, the creative force behind other Nickelodeon hits including Emmy Award-nominated Zoey 101, Drake & Josh, The Amanda Show, Kenan & Kel and All That. Called "the Norman Lear of children's television" by The New York Times, Schneider created the WB's What I Like About You and wrote and co-produced the film Big Fat Liar.

Lyrics to the song Leave It All To Me

2008-02-20T11:11:00.002-06:00

I know, you see
Somehow the world will change for me
And be so wonderful

Live life, breathe air
I know somehow we're gonna get there
And feel so wonderful

I will make you change your life
These things happen all the time
And it's all real
I'm telling you just how I feel

So wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me

I Know
This time
To raise the hand that draws the line
And be so wonderful
Gold and sunshine
I know somehow it's going to be mine
And feel so wonderful

Show me what you can become
Here's to dreaming
Everyone
And it's all real
I'm telling you just how I feel

So wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me

Leave it all to me
Leave it all to me
So make it mine and see it through
You know you won't be free until you

Wake up the members of my nation
It's your time to be
There's no chance unless you take one
And it's time to see
The brighter side of every situation
Somethings are meant to be
So give me your best and leave the rest to me

Leave it all to me
Leave it all to me
Just leave it all to me....

2008-02-19T16:36:00.000-06:00

Born on May 14, 1993, and the first big event in his life was when he was acting 3 years.
At that young age was observed by an agent, she sang and danced in a restaurant (Taste of LA), and that led to fewer jobs. Then, when he was 9, he was cast as the School of Rock. That's when things really changed for her when her name appeared in a large number of people from the radars.
Since then she has been in a successful television series (Nickelodeon's Drake and Josh) and a number of other films including the remake of Yours, Mine And ours.
Based on his interviews, we know of his talent does not end with acting, it is also a musician, having had the experience of singing since she was 5 and also playing the piano and, most recently, the guitar.
