Oakland-based Alphabet Rockers are a multiracial, intergenerational, GRAMMY-nominated group that has been speaking truth to power since 2007 through children’s media — music, videos, curriculum and performances. Our mission is to make music that makes change. Our families need content that is healing, that reflects who we are and empowers us — embracing Black liberation, Queer liberation, Indigenous rights, immigrant rights, and intersectionality. We curate this content with the community, centering children’s voices. We amplify authentic stories and interrupt the patterns that got us here. This process is our collective work— the embodiment of real change.
Co-creators Tommy Soulati Shepherd and Kaitlin McGaw have built Alphabet Rockers as a collective of youth artist/activists and their adult allies. Our vision is to amplify our diverse voices as we create world-changing family content and build the just world we all want to see— one beat, one movement, one moment at a time.
