Coleman and the co-creators of the show—his high school friends and former bandmates—make musical children’s content that even adults can listen to.

Coleman speaks on creating children’s content and supporting other families experiencing loss in the midst of his own. Read more about Coleman, the success of Danny Go!, and more at the link in bio.
