Laurie Berkner

Laurie Berkner has been a professional musician since 1992, but her success as a children's recording artist was a surprise to her. “It was so unexpected,” says Laurie. “I'd been performing in rock bands (including Lois Lane, an all-female cover band, as well as her own original rock band, Red Onion) and struggling to write original music. Writing music for kids has not been a struggle at all. The more I started working on material for children, the more I realized that it opened up creativity in me that I never knew I had.”
