Awards, reviews, interviews, and writing. For press inquiries, a short bio and the highlights are right here.
"A new children's podcast that was just released shows real promise for its creativity and has the Disney/Pixar animated film Inside Out vibe to it."
"Rather than telling children how they should feel, In the Zone celebrates every emotion as a natural part of growing up."
"'Singing Love into Action' is a sort of mission statement for me."
"There is almost always a third way. We just have to think a little more creatively."
Who is Suzanne Jamieson?
Suzanne Jamieson is an award-winning, LA-based children's musician, singer-songwriter, mindfulness coach, and mother of two. With a background in musical theatre and yoga, she combines her love of music and mindfulness through fun, uplifting, high-quality pop music.
Her first children's album, Shine: Lullabies for Everyone, was released in 2014. Bounce (2020), her first collaboration with 3x Grammy-nominated children's musicians The Pop Ups, was followed by Love Is… (July 19, 2024), written and produced with Jason Rabinowitz of The Pop Ups.
Suzanne holds awards from the NAPPA Awards, Parents' Choice, Mom's Choice, Kids' Choice, Kids First, Family Choice, and Creative Child Magazine, and won first prize in the International Songwriting Competition for Best Children's Song for "Grateful," her collaboration with Grammy-winning band Alphabet Rockers. She has charted the #1 song on SiriusXM's Kids Place Live, where her holiday singles get regular play.
Her music, known for its production value, respect for children, and positive subject matter, strives to uplift children and families. Most recently, she created In the Zone!, a scripted musical podcast for early learners in which she voices Ms. Maya and writes all the songs, and its companion show, the In the Zone Parent Pod.
"As a children's musician, I feel very strongly that children should be treated with the same respect as any adult. I aspire to make great songs with positive messages that kids will love because the music is fun… and that parents will love because the songs have great production values, are current, and polished."Suzanne Jamieson

What critics say about Love Is…
"Across the eleven songs on her latest children's album, Suzanne Jamieson looks at love from multiple sides. And no matter what way she looks at love, she expresses it in an exuberant way that will capture the attention of listeners young and old alike… Filled with high energy, heart, joy, and inspiration, Love Is, most certainly, is a many-splendored thing."
"This song ultimately has an empowering message, about being able to make significant change in the world by spreading love, something all of us, children and adults, sometimes need reminding of. It's a choice each of us can make. And aren't we all happier when we turn toward love?"
"As a parent you'll be sure to appreciate 'Unconditional Love' and 'Kid I Love You', which are sweet songs that capture that love parents have for their kids… It all comes down to love, doesn't it? The earlier folks learn it, the better for all of us."
"Her string of albums aren't exactly children's music, they're more like bundles of concepts and catchy music appropriate for the whole family."
