‘I never saw myself doing kids’ music until I became a parent,’ says Angie Who. The Sydney musician cut her teeth in alt-country acts like The Smoking Muskets, but pivoted to children’s songs when she couldn’t find the kind of music she wanted to share with her young daughter. Now, she has three family music releases to her name, and her Lullaby Love, a singalong event for parents and babies aged from zero to six months, is taking place at the Sydney Opera House.
While it’s seemingly more common for performers to start with a general audience and later pivot to kid-friendly material, magician Sam Hume went the other way. Hume, the co-Founder and Executive Producer of Showmen Productions, began doing magic for children’s parties as a 13-year-old and now stars in both Circus – The Show (aimed at kids aged four to 12) and the self-explanatory Adults Only Magic Show.
