Creator Q&A
Tell us about yourself
I’m a children’s content creator based in Houston, TX. I started out making YouTube videos of my little songs during 2020, and have since expanded to playing live kids concerts in my local area, as well as learning to animate my videos and grow my YouTube channel. After several years of putting my songs on YouTube, I made my children’s music album! My songs are often inspired by my own children and observations they make or challenges they face. Once I shared a song or two with friends and their kids, and saw how much they enjoyed them, I knew I wanted to continue to put them out into the world.
What inspired you to make this title(s)?
Since the day I my kids got a Yoto, I knew I wanted to be a part of it. I had just put out my album of children’s music and I applied to be a Yoto Creator to turn it into a Yoto card, so more kids could enjoy it. I was over the moon when I realized I was picked! My own children love Yoto and their music cards, and now I am excited to be one of many amazing music card choices in the shop.
"I hope that when they listen, it brings them joy and they find the fun in everyday tasks or situations"
Who do you imagine listening to your audio?
My audio is geared towards kids ages 0-10, and their adults! I hope that when they listen, it brings them joy and they find fun in everyday life tasks or situations.
Is there anything different about making audio for Yoto?
Yoto represents so much of what I want to see in the children’s content world. As a parent, I know the struggle it is to see my kids bombarded with screens. That was not my own experience as a kid, and I long for them to have some of the simplicity of my 90s childhood. I feel like Yoto helps make that more of a possibility. It’s like cassettes and CDs in a more easy and accessible format. I am a Yoto fan for life. As a creator, I see bright horizons for creating audio with Yoto!
What’s next?
I hope to continue in the vein of creating more screen-free opportunities for kids and families by making coloring books and picture books based on my songs, as well as more albums and music cards in the future. You can follow along with what I create at www.courtneyleemusic.com
