Jake loves animals - and he especially loves Australian animals! He wishes he could be a kangaroo:
Jumping over cars, leaping onto the bus, hiding his books in his pouch, and so much more!
Once Jake puts on his kangaroo 'onesie', his adventure becomes as wild as his imagination and so will yours.
'If I Could Be A Kangaroo' give kids a chance to imagine the wild, fun-filled ride they could have if they became this popular, iconic Australian animal!
I am, first and foremost, a father of five kids - who are all growing up far too quickly! As an Australian-born singer/songwriter of Chilean heritage, I am blessed to have learnt to play classical piano from a very young age and am also a self-taught guitarist. My musical journey has seen me perform at world-renowned venues, including the Sydney Opera House. With my partner (Nancy Mattos), we formed duo "Soluna" and released two independent albums: Narayani (Meditation Music 2018) & Jardincito (Spanish Kids Music 2020). In 2018, we founded 'Awakening The Senses". The organisation aims to bring together like-minded individuals with a common purpose: creating awareness and tolerance through music, dance, art, and the spoken & written word. I am also a Board member of the Men's Health & Well-Being Association of NSW (MHWNSW), and a passionate supporter of men's work. After so many years of writing songs (and raising kids), it became apparent to me that song lyrics are, in fact, poetry that is accompanied by a melody. Inspired by my men's mentor (John Moulang - Author/Poet), I started writing my own poetry. I have discovered that creating poetry provides me with a poignant means of expressing my view of the world, raising human consciousness, and permitting my inner child to explore and play. Today and every day, I trust that you will continue to take care of yourself and always remember to "Love-Laugh-Dream." Thank You/Gracias/Namaste Christian
