For Your GRAMMY® Consideration: Best Children's Music Album 🎶

True stories. Big choruses. Tiny singers welcome. 🌍

We’re so proud it’s been entered for Best Children’s Music Album at the GRAMMY® Awards. Thank you to every brilliant person who sang, played and stayed up late to make it happen, and to the 25-voice children’s chorus, fuelled by 200 biscuits… each! 🍪

Did some stuff last night.....

Honestly though, what a way to end the summer. @muckyweekender never disappoints.

And then signing hats mid mix in a set that made @thirty3hzguildford reconsider its life choices 🤯🫠

Until next time 🙌🏻

Write Your Dreams - A Song About Jane Austen is out now! It’s our latest track from the Little People Big Dreams Album. It’s the most epic of them all, and went straight onto the @spotify New Kids Music playlist ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Each story from @mariaisabelsanchezvegara and @quartokids has been an adventure to turn into song.

For this one we had some legendary folks make the journey possible:

The soaring talent of @gracemouat 🎤. Jane Austen has truly found her voice!

Those are @12ensemble 🎻 you’re hearing.
Glorious 🎺from @horn.house brass
And the incredible @johnbleasedrums on 🥁.
Mastered by @mike_marsh_mastering.
