This week on the NTWJ pod, we explore brand-building + songwriting – celebrating "Complicated Kids" + creativity for all. Full of funny throwback memories of where it all began, at an impromptu summer backyard party + puppet show debuting an original Other Brown Girl Ukulele “Island” song that I co-wrote with multi-talented JESSE FRIEBERG (a.k.a. JESSE JUKEBOX) + Disney singer-songwriter Maria Christensen over Zoom. (Oh, did I mention Maria also writes for Jennifer Lopez + Celine Dione? How lucky am I to have such musical, magical friends?!)
JESSE FRIEBERG (a.k.a. JESSE JUKEBOX) is a musician, songwriter, recording artist, performer for kids. He’s on a mission to inspire children and their parents to be creative, compassionate, free-thinking, and a little bit smarter than he is (which is pretty darn smart). Based out of Cleveland, Ohio, Jesse accomplishes his mission by writing and recording original children’s music. He puts on amusing, thrilling, and interactive live shows that entertain children and grown-ups alike. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, instead of mastering the art of Jazz and shredding guitars, Jesse dedicated his time to writing, recording, and performing fun and catchy children’s music for families. Jesse has released 3 albums and has a new album coming out called “Just A Minute” that will be released in Spring of 2022 with album artwork by Lindsey Bryan. In 2021, Jesse accepted his invitation to join the Recording Academy. Jesse’s passion for working with children led him to receive his Masters in Early Childhood Educationfrom Ursuline College in 2015. He applies the skills he learned to give high-energy, interactive, early childhood music classes that the whole family gets into. Jesse is driven by Rock and Roll, The Blues, Batman, Electric guitars, Silliness, Funky Bass Lines, Pizza, Corny jokes, Loud Drums, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Banjos, Outer Space, and all things awesome.
