Bestselling, award-winning children's recording artist Laurie Berkner is widely recognized as the uncrowned queen of children's music. Laurie's albums, released on her own label, have been best sellers on a chart typically dominated by movie soundtracks and major label compilations. Her debut DVD, which went quadruple platinum, was the first-ever indie children's music DVD to enter Billboard's Top Music Video chart at #1. Laurie's eleventh album, Superhero, was released in September 2016.
A longtime fixture on TV's Nick Jr. and Sprout channels, Laurie was the first recording artist to ever appear in a music video interstitial on Nick Jr. and was a beloved presence on Jack's Big Music Show. Laurie currently stars in a short-form animated musical series Sing It, Laurie! on the preschool network Sprout, and she has been a frequent guest on Sprout's Sunny Side Up morning show.
Laurie wrote the music and lyrics for two Off-Broadway children's musicals produced by New York City Children's Theater: Wanda's Monster (2013) and The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess (2014). Laurie is currently writing songs for Interstellar Cinderella, set to debut off-Broadway in November 2017.
Between spring 2017 and summer 2018, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers is publishing a series of three picture books with Laurie, each based on one of her songs. We Are the Dinosaurs was released in March 2017. Coming up are Pillowland and Monster Boogie.
