Salas is credited with multiple Grammy wins and nominations in several different music genres including the Music for Children category. He also holds 2017 production credits with a Guiness Record for Longest Song.
In addition to being a Producer/artist and studio owner, Kamide is founder of Berliner Microphones and chief engineer of the highly acclaimed Berliner U77 Tube microphone. The U77 was hailed as one of the “Best New Microphones” and landed on the front cover of Pro Audio Review that same year. His wife, Guitarist/Violinist Gee Lo, 2NE1) Sharon Aguilar Kamide appears throughout the album on several tracks performing guitar and violin.
“Music is a powerful tool for inspiration and learning,” says Norelli, “and we wanted to create an album that not only entertains children but also helps drive a positive and uplifting message. We believe that Rock for Children will do just that, and we’re excited to share it with families everywhere.”
Alice Cooper, one of the main featured artists to perform on the album, is lending an exclusive remake of his classic 70’s hit “No More Mr. Nice Guy” to the album. Cooper has re-penned the lyrics with an anti-bullying message and is calling it “Mr. Nice Guy”. The song is about a young boy who suddenly rethinks carrying on as a bully and transforms himself into a real ‘Mr Nice Guy’”, explains the Legendary Shock Rocker.
Rock for Children will be available in various formats, including Vinyl, CD, digital download, and streaming services. The album will also be accompanied by a range of educational resources, including lyric sheets, activity guides, and lesson plans, which are designed to enhance children’s learning experience.
