Music for children with an eclectic mix of influences. Vocalist Madelyn Marie treats kids with respect for their ability to appreciate good music. Madelyn "plays up" to the children, not down to them. These songs have been "kid tested" for 10 years at the famous Sag Harbor Elementary School "Morning Program" and currently at the "Southampton Elementary School Morning Meeting" where children, teachers and parents get together to sing, learn and build a community of friends and neighbors in song and celebration.

Listen to "Sing A Little Song" CD and the our brand new release "It's About Love", we guarantee that you love these songs as much as the children do! These are fun tunes mixed with positive messages and parent pleasing lullabies.
