For Your GRAMMY® Consideration
BEST CHILDREN'S MUSIC ALBUM
Reviews
Preschool Rockstar's debut album, Tiny Humans, Big World, is a soundtrack for children's playtime. Recorded by Kevin & Marty Long, each song is arranged to engage not just children, but their parents too. Leaning into a Marty's love of 90's rock and Kevin's love of 70's rock, they created an album with both consistency and variety that the whole family can enjoy.
From Dancing About Architecture
“Get them while they’re young” might sound like a cliché, but in the right pair of hands, it becomes a valuable tool for using music to help develop young minds. Preschool Rockstar is undoubtedly the right pair of hands, and their debut, Tiny Humans, Big World, pulls off a neat trick: music made for preschoolers that never once sounds like “kids’ music.”

“It’s an album that celebrates the wonder of early childhood without talking down to its audience. In doing so, Preschool Rockstar proves that music for the youngest listeners can be both joyous and artful, charming and substantial. This is more than just an introduction to music—it’s a reminder that great songs can meet us at any age, and sometimes it’s the tiny humans who remind us how big the world really is.” Read More
