«Award Winning, Silly, Fun and Original Children’s Music for Kids Created by a Teacher»
Meet Mr. Jeff, the super cool musician and teacher! Mr. Jeff wears many hats as a multi-instrumentalist musician, songwriter, music teacher, audio engineer, and former Pre-K and Preschool Teacher. With a Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential™ to his name, he spent four years inspiring young minds in his preschool classroom, where he seamlessly blended music, theatrics, and reading into his lessons.
Mr. Jeff’s YouTube channel, with over 100,000 views, is a favorite for kids and families, offering fun, educational music videos that spark joy and curiosity.
His high-energy, interactive live shows combine gross motor movement, social-emotional learning, and a healthy dose of silliness, leaving kids ready for a nap—and parents asking for more! Perfect for libraries, schools, festivals, museums, and family-friendly events, Mr. Jeff’s performances are designed to captivate and engage audiences of all ages.
In March 2024, Mr. Jeff released his debut children’s music album, Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful, featuring imaginative and educational songs inspired by his preschool classroom and his own children. Songs such as “Loud in the Library,” “Drivin’ in My Racecar,” and “The Jellyfish Dances Like This” showcase his knack for mixing education with fun, while tracks like “Wonderful Wonderful Wonderful!!!” and “Poppin’ Bubbles” add an extra dose of joy.
Mr. Jeff addresses important social emotional themes in songs like «Do What Big Kids Do» and «Lose The ‘Tude/Relax,» encouraging children to express their feelings. His innate teaching ability shines through in «Mr. Jeff’s Numbers Song,» and he wraps up the album with a heartfelt love letter to friendship in «Sleepover.»
