The award-winning Peruvian American phenomenon known as Twinkle is thrilled to announce the release of her fourth album for kids and families, an over-the-top-awesome extravaganza of empowering songs in both Spanish and English, A Mi Me Gusta Ser Yo * It’s OK To Be Me.Described as “like Lady Gaga for kids,” with a super pop sound mixed with a touch of Broadway belt, a sparkling soupçon of hip hop, and plenty of EDM glam, Twinkle has always danced to the beat of her own drum, breaking barriers, sound and otherwise, with both her music and Harajuku-style presentation.
Launched by a childhood saturated with the sound and fury of Top 40 artists like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Gloria Estefan, Michael Jackson, Prince, Selena, Cher, and Shania Twain, Twinkle has forever experienced a gravitational pull in the direction of performers who create the “whole package,” from their infectious melodies and distinctive vocal qualities to their show-stopping presentations and trademark looks. With her own award-winning albums, raise-the-roof concerts, and one-of-a-kind costuming and make-up, Twinkle follows suit, dazzling kids and families nationwide.
Highlights on A Mi Me Gusta Ser Yo * It’s OK To Be Me include the album’s title track, which encourages kids to celebrate their individuality with confidence, proudly showing the world their authentic selves, and “Together”/“Unidos,” which pairs bilingual rapper MC Magic and sax artist Izzi Def. “Unidos” was named Best Latin Song of 2020 in the USA Songwriting Competition, and “Together” was one of the Top 5 Songs in the 2021 Funky Kids Global Music Awards, sponsored by Australia’s Funky Kids Radio. Here, Twinkle has penned a powerful pop anthem with a global message of unification and hope.
“Mask It Up” and “Máscara” are timely songs generated by inspiring conversations with the kids and parents Twinkle talked to almost every day throughout the past year on her Twinkle Time LIVE! shows on YouTube. Two purely magic numbers, “LOVE” and “LOVE en Español” flash back to Twinkle’s roots as a member of the popular ‘00s girl band, Nobody’s Angel, while “GateKeeper” and “Brilla” showcase the talents of guest artist Jace Blain, a hip hop artist from Texas celebrated for empowering youth with his positive messages of substance and conscience.
“This album represents who I am as an artist and a person, and how I’ve lived my entire life. Always being different, accepting of everyone, and being proud of who I am … Peruvian American! I want kids to know it’s great to be the flamingo in a flock of seagulls,” says Twinkle. “I also want everyone to know that Latinos come in all different shades and that, while we love the traditional songs we grew up listening to with our grandparents and parents, we also want to listen to pop, EDM, dance, rock, and urbano musica. That’s what I’m all about, BUT I do it for kids. I’m the epitome of Latinx, born in California but proud to be a Peruvian American! Super orgullosa ser Latina!”
Previous albums by Twinkle include Just Dance (2017), Made In the U.S.A. (2012), which was honored with two Global Music Awards (Best Children’s Album and Best Children’s Song), and Twinkle Time (2010).
A Mi Me Gusta Ser Yo * It’s OK To Be Me will be available at Twinkle’s website and at live Twinkle Time shows.
