The exclusive story behind the video:
"Randy Jackson was a guest on our show. I told them I would love to sing for him as a fake audition. They liked it and gave me my 15 seconds of fame. Since I also wrote the song I sang, I got a nice royalty check for it!"

Brian brings over 10 years experience working in illustration and licensed product design. His mission is to create engaging and inspiring content for children that promotes an active imagination, positive self-image, and the silly joy of being a kid.
