Teeny Tiny Stevies

  • Description:

    Beginning as a side hustle from their already established indie-folk band, The Little Stevies, in 2015, inspired by the need to teach Byll’s three-year-old about the challenges of toilet training, sisters Byll & Beth started playing around writing children’s songs.

    What began as a side-hobby became so fun and effective that before they knew it, their debut album ‘Useful Songs for Little People’ had become a word-of-mouth sensation around Australia.

    They’ve since released 4 albums through ABC Music, won an ARIA and two AIR Awards, appeared on Play School & Gardening Australia Junior, been commission to write for Sesame Street in the US & signed a book deal with Harper Collins.

    Their first book, Boss of Your Own Body, was nominated for the 2022 ABIA Best Children’s Book Award and has become a bestseller. They’ve also licensed countless music videos to ABC Kids TV, which are played on air regularly and racked up over 21 million streams on the ABC KIDS iView app.

    Their live shows are the ultimate live gig experience for young families. The old feel young, the young feel like grown ups and everyone just meets somewhere in the middle for a rocking good time.
