Synopsis:

You find a large bug crawling across the floor of your bedroom.  Do you squish it? Do you hide from it? Do you keep it as a pet?

What do you do to move that bug from your room??

There’s A Bug In My Room teaches children compassion by promoting kindness toward earth’s small creatures. “There’s A Bug In My Room” is a picture book adaptation of the song by the same name. Illustrated with creative and lighthearted sensitivity by Anna Berezina.

Friends With You – (Collaboration with Solnce Vera Ostrova)

Did you ever have a pen pal? I had many growing up. I’d exchange snail mail letters with out of town friends I met at summer camp, and with children around the world that I met through different pen pal services. Letter writing  helped open my eyes to the similarities between people in different cultures. Kids today may write via the computer more than the pen or pencil, but they can still have pen pals, and make new friends in far away places.  This concept is explored in my new song, Friends With You.

“Friends With You” is a duet with the amazing Solnce Vera Ostrova. Solnce and I both have releases in the dance music genre, (she is best known for her work with Armin van Buuren). We became friends through our work with the Vocalist Songwriter Alliance, an organization we have been helping set up to advocate for the rights of songwriters in all genres. I asked Solnce to make a guest appearance on my children’s album and, (corresponding via the internet), we developed a song concept and wrote it together. The message of the song stems from deep in both our hearts. We hope you will feel the love we put into it, and have as much fun with it as we do.

It’s an honor to call Solnce my friend. I’m so happy she shared her talent and beautiful voice, and I am grateful for her enthusiastic support, positive energy, good humor, and kindness.

Thanks as well to Anthony Webster  for putting the pieces together for the final production. His production and engineering help has been invaluable to me for this album.

New Press! Music and Manners

I am honored to be included in the latest post on Inside A Mother’s Mind. Please read this if you ever feel your small thoughts of kindness are going unnoticed. They are not, and they are worth it every time.

The author, Thuy Yau, is based in Perth, Australia.  She is a novelist, blogger, and mother of three. As she says, “Everything I write is to help inspire, motivate and encourage others to lead better lives”. Her blog is full of positive and encouraging words for those of us balancing our dreams and obligations in a choatic world.  Thuy has an admirable outlook on life.  As she says, “By strengthening your relationships with other people, you are acknowledging the contribution that EVERYONE makes.”  I appreciate Thuy sharing my music with her readers, as music is one of many things that brings us together and opens our hearts to one another.  My children’s album is not about advertising and spam, but is about making connections with the world around me in a deeply meaningful way based on all I’ve learned and experienced in my life thus far. Witnessing a child absorbed in music is a perfect example of how pure the interaction of music and emotion truly is, once was, could or should be…for all of us.
