Saturday, July 15, 2023

Recognized as “the queen of kids’ music” by People magazine, children’s music phenomenon Laurie Berkner turned her experience as a preschool music specialist by day and rock singer by night into a career as one of the biggest names in family music. With 15 bestselling, award-winning albums, and more than 1 billion total streams, Laurie’s intelligent, accessible songwriting, warm, captivating vocals and infectious melodies have won legions of little fans as well as their parents. What sets Laurie apart? She displays an instinctive understanding of children’s natural rhythms and energy, which keeps kids enraptured and brings parents and caregivers happily along for the ride.

As a leader and innovator in children’s music and entertainment for the past quarter of a century, Laurie was the first recording artist ever to perform in music videos on Nick Jr., appeared regularly on the network's Jack's Big Music Show, and helped develop the short form animated musical preschool series Sing It, Laurie! on Sprout TV. She has authored several picture books based on her songs, the most recent of which were published by Simon & Schuster and has also written the music and lyrics for three Off-Broadway children's musicals produced by New York City Children’s Theater: Wanda's Monster, The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess, and Interstellar Cinderella.
