In the mid eighties J. Aaron Brown dreamed
of creating music that parents could share with their little
ones. Writing and recording songs that would provide sweet
dreams and hopes of bright tomorrows, creating music and melodies
that would stand the test of time and would be passed on to
future generations.
In pursuit of that dream, Brown and his
partner, David R. Lehman, recorded A Child's Gift of Lullabyes,
a collection of original lullabies with lush orchestral arrangements.
Next, they staked everything on releasing and distributing
it themselves. Beginning with a single specialty store in
Nashville, Tennessee, and even giving away cassettes and
CDs to thousands of new mothers, they relied on "word
of mommy" to
spread their musical message. Their marketing strategy worked
beyond their wildest dreams.
A Child's Gift of Lullabyes quickly
earned acclaim, winning a Grammy® Award
nomination and designation as a Notable Children's Recording from the American
Library Association. Families everywhere have made this music a cherished part
of nap time, playtime and bedtime. Brown and Lehman have produced five more
collections of love songs and lullabies, and A Child’s Gift of Lullabyes
recordings are available in fine gift shops, toy and department stores, mail-order
catalogs and web sites. Today, J. Aaron Brown's dream has become a global reality.
