Mr. Hyson pulled my shy girl out of her shell. She sang and danced along with 20 of her friends. Mr. Hyson kept the party going and the kids interested the entire time! Second time client, will definitely be using him again and again!

What to expect
I offer a 45-60 minute full concert for the whole family. I play George, my guitar, as well as use upbeat background tracks during my performance. I like to instill positive messages, as well as give children opportunities to express themselves through, speaking, dance, singing, and acting. I use a variety of props including pom-poms, jump ropes, leis, real instruments, inflatable instruments, cones, hula hoops and cool sun glasses. You can also expect the children to use teamwork as they compete against me during the song, Ice Cream....it's going to be loud!!

Influences and inspiration
A huge influence on my music career is Bill Brennan (Billy B). He inspired me as a teenager when he performed shows where a taught. He uses music to teach children about natural science concepts. The main thing that influences me are the children I work with. Most of my songs come from interactions with children, whether it's my own children, nieces, nephews, or my students.
Setup requirements
