Dominic Bakewell, a stay-at-home dad, has been playing music and writing songs for over 30 years and recently turned to writing children's songs after the birth of his son. His alternative pop rock style has been carried into his children's music. The multi-instrumentalist began playing at house parties as a teenager with his friends and then played the Los Angeles club scene in various bands. Monkey Shoes, which many say is sure to be a classic, is a CD of catchy, melodic and smart songs with great beats that kids and parents will love.
