I have worked on numerous projects for children's television. This includes Oobi.

Oobi was a preschool series that originally aired on the Noggin channel. It was a show that emphasized simplicity with its bare-handed puppetry and bare-bones production style that quickly developed both a child and adult fanbase that is still alive today as the show continues to air internationally and on streaming platforms. I had the honor of writing and composing five songs for Oobi's third season. These were "Clean Room," "Neighborhood Song," "Parade March," "Rockabye Lullaby," and "Trip Wow." My personal favorite of these songs was "Rockabye Lullaby." When we were shooting this song, I got to meet and work with Kevin Clash, AKA the Original Elmo.
