About the Author

Willie Devargas, a children's music artist, was born and raised in New York City. He fell in love with music as a child, immersed in the diversity of the city and exposed to sounds from all over the world. As an early childhood music teacher Willie saw how his original music sparked his students to dance, clap, smile, and open up in new ways. He was hooked and inspired to keep on creating songs with empowering messages about life and our world, simple enough for our youngest children to understand and with rhythm that all ages can appreciate. Willie is a recipient of the Blackboard Award for teaching and has been highlighted as a top Kindie artist in NYC by New York Family magazine. In a life that revolves around his love for bringing music to children, Devargas can often be found teaching ukulele lessons to preschoolers, donating time at local hospitals and libraries, and performing for children's parties and events. He lives in Brooklyn, NY with his wife and son.
