She's already the star of a real-life TV show and a pretrend Web cast. Now 15-year-old "iCarly" actress Miranda Cosgrove is looking to conquer the music world.

Cosgrove's first album, "iCarly," debuts June 10 and includes songs about and inspired by the show and performed by her and others, including Avril Lavigne, Natasha Bedington and others.

"For as long as I can remember I've dreamed of a career that included singing and acting, and it's so exciting that it's coming true now," said Cosgrove who as a preteen was discovered by an agent who saw her singing and dancing around the table as her family dined in a Los Angeles restaurant.

Her first foray into professional singing was last year when she recorded the show's theme song, "Leave It All to Me."

"It was a thrill to get to sing the 'iCarly' theme song when the series started and show off my real voice," said Cosgrove, who added that she had to take lessons in bad singing for her part as the tone deaf kid who channeled Jack Black's music ambitions in the 2003 movie comedy "School of Rock."

"Leave It All to Me" will also become the new album's first video when it debuts Saturday on the Nickelodeon and N networks.

In "iCarly," Cosgrove plays Carly Shay, star of a Webcast produced with the help of two friends and her goofy older brother.
