About Al Start

Welcome to GO KID MUSIC!We write & produce outstanding songs, digital & video and live music events aimed at primary-age children and their families. We have just launched our ground-breaking online music club for families and membership for schools - amazing educational songs for children! https://club.gokidmusic.comhttps://gokidmusic.comI am primarily a songwriter, with loads of experience working and writing with children and young people, looked after children, deaf children & adults with/out special needs. We have 7 children's albums, 4 original musical stage shows and 2 songbooks for primary schools published by Collins.We have a self-published children's book, "Gorrid the Horrid"​ with brilliant full colour illustrations from Chloe Batchelor, and have developed this into a short musical animation.Our USP is songwriting to brief: my background working creatively with children for over 25 years has given me a unique insight into what makes children tick! I combine this knowledge with educational elements, inclusive practice (sign language/Makaton) and can record and produce in our in-house studio.We are involved in many collaborations and exciting projects and are always open to invitations!We are seeking writing opportunities, publishing, TV/film soundtrack/ children's TV, exciting creative people to collaborate with. Do get in touch if you would like to engage your clients and customers with some excellent music (I write and compose for adults too!) Visit us at www.gokidmusic.com
