From songs to segments, Beth Jean has created an original style of wonder and quirk in children's media. Calling her process a "one stop shop", she loves every step, from writing and filming to editing. This includes Emmy nominated segments for PBS, original children's songs, and helping create one of today's most viewed youtube channels, Ms. Rachel.
While producing children's content of her own, Beth Jean's visuals caught the eye of creators Rachel and Aron, who were working on the "up and coming" YouTube channel, Ms. Rachel. Absolutely thrilled, Beth Jean joined the pair to help with video production - editing, animating and creating the world around Ms. Rachel. Working closely together, Beth Jean's passion and belief in the channel's message, aided in developing a creative direction that aligned with their delightful, fun personalities.
Beth Jean first started making videos to go along with her original children's songs, for which she currently has two albums released. She was awarded grand prize for best children's song in The John Lennon Songwriting competition, has taken the top spot in the Great American Song Contest, and became an International Songwriting Competition finalist. Her second children's album, Let's Put On a Show was given the stamp of approval from the highly regarded, National Parent Product Awards.
Some of these songs helped develop the themes for segments featured on the Emmy® Award winning children’s show The Friday Zone on WTIU-PBS. Here she showcased her unique style, creating her own "mini-sets" that included light up cellophane rivers and tinfoil dance discos in outer space. From roaming gnomes to painting dinosaur toes, A Beth Jean Daydream earned her two Emmy® nominations in the Central Great Lakes Chapter, for writing and performing. A third separate nomination was received in the entertainment category for her original children's songs and music videos, highlighted at the top of the show.
Beth Jean is happy to make content that entertains kids, and maybe even amuse adults with a chuckle or two!
