Music Minute: Mama B & Uncle T - Zoology

 Mama B & Uncle T are releasing their first album Zoology

Jacq Becker  (Mama B) is a singer/songwriter whose music can be heard in various film & TV productions such as Top 5 (starring Chris Rock) & Pretty Little Liars. Jacq and Travis Warner (Uncle T) are long-time friends and collaborators who, after becoming a mom and uncle, were inspired to create a fresh musical soundscape for their newest family members. As a musician, Becker found herself searching for timeless music that her family could enjoy together and decided to to create her own modern children’s songs that her son could sing and connect with. She enlisted the help of her long time collaborator, Travis Warner (Frith) and a former bandmate Connor Marks, who also has a young son and a knack for catchy melodies and phrases. The three worked remotely together using voice memos to share ideas back and forth during production. Cleverly, she used her son's development as a guiding light for the songs. If he was able to ‘clap’ or ‘snap’ or ‘touch his toes’ she would put it to song as a way for him to better connect his movements to the music.

A pink polka dot flamingo who’s proud of being different. Hippos that make swimming seem less scary. Giggling Gorillas that bring joy to the bedtime routine. Toucans that include everyone. Zoology’s unique and joyful cast of characters teach empathy and love through seven imaginative tracks that follow a child’s journey through the whimsical world of the zoo. The first single “Hippopotamus” released last week along with a sweet animated music video. The album was just declared a NAPPA award winner. 

Zoology is available streaming on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music and anywhere families are searching for great music. For more on the project including music, lyric and performance videos, visit mamabunclet.com
