New Album Coming Soon - An Invitation To Live Fully

Music has always been more than just fun in my life—it's been a vehicle for connection, learning, and emotional expression. When I began creating this new albumI wanted to craft songs that would not only delight kids and families but also plant seeds of empathy, resilience, and curiosity.

An Invitation, Not a Prescription

The working title is "A Way to Be" because I believe in offering children pathways rather than prescriptions. Each song opens a door to conversation about values like kindness, asking for help, and building community—without dictating how these values must look in every child's life.

In "All It Takes Is a Friend," we explore how friendship can transform difficult moments. The lyrics about feeling alone with "heavy feet" and thoughts that are "way too loud" acknowledge children's emotional realities while offering hope through connection. When creating this song, I wanted to validate that we all feel lonely sometimes, and that reaching out for support is the right way to go.

The Musical Journey

Jon Jon and I have workshopped ideas virtually and person for the last few years to get the music to carry the message in every song. Going for bangers! Hype tracks like "Express Yourself" encourage physical movement and self-expression, while the somber melody of "Big Feelings" creates a safe space to feel big feelings.

Looking Forward: A Multilingual Vision

While we crafted this one in English, I'm thrilled to be preparing the Spanish version of the album for release later this year. While music transcends language barriers, offering children songs in multiple languages helps broaden everyone's mind.

Learning language through music activates different neural pathways and our songs are designed to be unforgettable - you'll learn without event knowing it. The rhythm, repetition, and emotional connection in songs make them perfect vehicles for learning anything - especially languages.

Join Us on This Journey

Whether you're a parent, educator, or someone who believes in the power of music to shape young minds, there's a place for you in this community.

Music isn't just something we consume—it's something we experience together. These songs were created to be sung, danced to, discussed, and lived. They're most powerful when they extend beyond listening time into everyday moments of connection.

I can't wait to share these songs with you and to hear how they resonate in your homes, classrooms, and communities. This is just the beginning of a big, fun, adventure together.
