Song for My Baby

Andy Z

This is my first official original song release in quite some time, inspired by my "baby" who is now almost 3 years old. I was told by a prominent fellow family music artist that this track reminded him of a song that would be included in the "Big American Songbook". Simple, heartfelt, classic. I will take that as a compliment! I hope you catch that vibe too. Enjoy!

Review:
With bouncy, classic rock 'n roll-style songs, a lively narrative and a use-your-imagination message, Andy Z and his friend Rasta Froggy take listeners on a morning-till-night, 4th of July amusement park adventure. Attractions include a train ride, a parade, an aquarium and a "Roll Roll Clickety Clack" rollercoaster ride, with stops for a new 'do at the "Barber Ant" shop and a much needed break at "Planet Potty." The adventure winds down peacefully with two quiet treats: "Red Balloon" and "Lullabye."

Andy Z's Parent's Choice Recommended 2nd album takes you on a tour of his world, where the sun talks, dinosaurs wear party hats, and anything is possible!

"Welcome To Andyland" is the recipient of the Parents' Choice Foundation Recommended Award

Review:
"With sincerity and cheer, singer Andy Z narrates and plays tour guide through a tuneful let's-pretend world, where he's "buds" with dinosaurs, pirates and squirrels, a leprechaun makes an appearance and his 18-month-old nephew runs the island fire station. The tour winds up with a rock 'n roll, Mister Rogers-style "I Love You Because You're You" message and a "surprise" track with a winter holiday theme that serves as the CD's encore number."

Drink More Water (single)

Andy Z

Buy track

Drink More Water is a song written by Andy Z to be used to educate kids in a fun and musical way about healthy drink choices: drinking more water, drinking less juice and why this is a good thing.

It was created to accompany the California Children's Food Policy Advocates' hydration/healthy drink choices campaign, and coincides with the (USA) national "Drink Up With More Water" initiative which has been put forth by Michelle Obama.
