Silly, funny, tender and sweet, Mr. Skip helps kids feel good about themselves. His energetic, yet warm, caring, interactive style, and his natural kinship with the wonder of children, makes him a hit wherever he performs. Whether for an intimate group of five or on a stage before thousands, kids love to sing with Mr. Skip!
A self-taught guitarist and singer/songwriter, he's been entertaining and educating young children, parents and child care professionals since the mid-eighties. While teaching songs to the kids at vacation church school, Mr. Skip was asked if he'd ever played at a day care. Says he, "It all fell into place then. The word spread and soon I was playing at as many as 20 in-home child cares a week." Bookstores, libraries, childcare centers and preschools quickly began booking him. In 1999 he released his first recording, Hello, Hello!, a cassette of old favorites and a few original songs. "Parents were coming up to me and saying that they found themselves singing my songs, even when their children weren't with them! That's fantastic!" Since then he’s produced even more hot tunes for tots, all available on CD.
Mr. Skip is a noted keynote performer and also teaches workshops for child care professionals on why music is so essential to early childhood development, and how truly easy it is to do in their own classrooms and homes. His keynotes are motivational "chats with a musical twist", sending attendees out with a message that is empowering and uplifting.
He's delighted thousands of young children, from New York to North Carolina, and is looking forward to entertaining in your state too!
