The New York Post dubbed Moey creator and songwriter Melissa Levis ‘The Pied Piper in Pink’ because 10,000 fans faithfully followed her each year for a decade as she performed concerts at FAO Schwarz, The Tribeca Film Festival, The New York Public Library, Barnes & Noble, Dylan's Candy Bar, Bloomingdale’s, Bank Street Bookstore, The Children’s Museum of New York City, and more. Central Park hired Moey to create the Sandbox Sing-Along concert series and give 26 concerts in Central Park. Sporting her signature pink, sparkly dress, Moey was described by New York Family Magazine as “Part Auntie Mame, Part Maria Von Trapp and part Mary Poppins.“
Melissa Levis has been a professional songwriter since she graduated from Brown University. She received her MFA in Musical Theatre Writing from The Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. She honed her skills as a children’s songwriter by teaching music to over 300 children each week at PS 158, York Avenue Preschool and “Gym-Time Rhythem and Glues” in New York City.
Moey’s Music Party recordings include:
Princess Revolution! (April 2012), winner of a Parents’ Choice Gold Award, is a rocking girl-power concept album which challenges the notion of the “passive princess” in classic fairy tales and celebrates every girl’s intelligence, confidence and sparkle. School Library Journal wrote that Princess Revolution is “Empowering girls with the message that they are not helpless, that they can wake themselves up with their own magical kisses, slay the dragon, and even rescue the prince. Performed with verve, energy, and enthusiasm. An excellent album for all little princesses!” Songs like 'Give Yourself a Kiss' (a musical version of Sleeping Beauty and Snow White) and 'Go Away, Monster!' joyfully inspire girls to see themselves as helpful heroes, not helpless maidens. Fifteen fun and feisty songs playfully address subjects like body image, understanding feelings, keeping promises, speaking up, and standing up to bullies. Kick off your glass slipper – Join the Princess Revolution!
Happily Ever Moey! A Fairy Tale Lark in Central Park CD/ DVD (July 2011) transforms classic fairy tales into rocking songs and candy-colored videos in this multiple award-winning CD & DVD that was named in the Top 10 products at Toy Fair 2012. 65 children join Moey to give 12 stories by Aesop, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm new musical kid-power endings. Set in the real-life enchanted forest of Central Park, this Parents’ Choice, National Parenting Publications, Kids First, and Creative Child award-winner is "A real treat...Will appeal to all fans of fairy tales!" School Library Journal starred review.
Moey’s Music Party debut CD (June 2007), was inspired by milestones in a child’s life between ages 1 and 5. The award-winning 17 track CD (Dr. Toy, Creative Child) playfully extolls the virtues of getting dressed, listening to grown-ups, sharing, washing hair and going potty. Kids Music That Rocks said It’s “Sesame Street meets the Go-Go’s”. Cookie Magazine wrote Moey’s Music Party will “turn any under-5 shingig into a mini-American Bandstand.” The Moey’s Music Party CD received accolades from magazines, moms, and even Mayor Bloomberg, who sent Melissa a personal fan letter saying, "From the indomitable spirit of "I Can Do It" to the vibrant multilingual bonanza of "Fiesta," your CD captures so much of what's great in New York City."
Moey’s Music Party also developed a 35-week Mommy & Me music curriculum. Suitable for children from infants to five years old, each 45-minute class introduces songs, instruments, phonics, puppets, dances and musical fairy tales based on different seasonal or classic party theme. Weekly Moey’s Music Party classes have been taught by a variety of male and female teachers at venues across New York City including Gymboree, The Museum of Motherhood and The Junior League of New York.
Three additional CDs have been recorded and are soon to be released: Preschool Pop, Playground Rockstar and Moey’s Birthday Party! Two Moey’s Music Party musicals have been produced: Moey Live – P is for Party! which ran for three months Off-Broadway at The Daryl Roth Theatre, and Moey’s Fairy Tale Adventure which was co-created with 9-time Tony Award winning Broadway producer, Stewart Lane.
Moey’s Music Party has been profiled in the New York Times, New York Post, The Huffington Post, Time Out NY Kids and many other publications. Melissa Levis was a panelist at Kindiefest and the Children’s Media Association. Melissa divides her time between New York City, Vermont and living with her very own revolutionary prince in France.
