Also, "My Mommy Is a Mummy" and "That's a Wrap" are semi-finalists for the International Songwriting Competition!

Wow-weee!!!

A lovely surprise greeted me earlier this week, when I was tagged on this article on Facebook: Music Alumna Wins International Songwriting Competition

I'm thrilled to announce that "Balloon" has won 1st place in the International Songwriting Competition in Children's category!

Here's to more BIG THINGS friends!

And stay tuned for my upcoming music video! :D 

This past weekend, we were...up to something. :)

Stay tuned for my newest music video to my tune, "Balloon"!
Did I mention that it's an International Songwriting Competition finalist?! 

I'm THRILLED to announce that my songs, "Our Garden" and "Balloon" are semi-finalists in the 2016 International Songwriting Competition! Hurray!

This is such a lovely honor and am grateful to have my songs selected. Even more grateful to be surrounded by a team who have helped make the sounds and visions in my head come to fruition. Here's to BIG THINGS, friends!

And this is me with the biggest grin in the world, thanks to friend (and fellow nominee) Jeff Oster for taking this picture. 

As they were about to announce the winner for Best Children's Music Song, to say that my heart was beating fast would be an understatement. It was basically starting a whole orchestra on its own!

I'm thrilled that my song, "Fantastic" won this prestigious award. And a big thanks goes out to all of IMA judges and an even bigger thanks to everyone who made the recording of this song possible: Linus, Larry, Rich, Saro, Josh, Ryan, Denise, Alan.

You are fantastic.

I'm so happy to share this great news! Big Things has been nominated for The Independent Music Awards in THREE categories!

Big Things - Children's Music Album 
Fantastic - Children's Music Song 
It's Halloween - Holiday Song

Hurray! They announce the winners live at Lincoln Center in NYC on November 12th. So exciting!
Here's to Big Things, friends!

I'm proud to announce that Big Things has been awarded the Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award. It's a beautiful thing and a wonderful start to big things. :)

"Brooklyn based, purple-haired Lucy Kalantari plays roaring 20?s style jazz, with a fine voice that recalls both Billie Holiday and the Andrew Sisters."
