My Dream For Your Child:

I make happy and educational music for your child (0 through 7). My DidiPop kids' music aims to teach, entertain and create mindfulness in kids and families. Most of all, i hope these songs lift your child's spirit and imagination way up high. My songs have passed the test of my daughters (now 5 and 7), and they set the bar HIGH.

Your child will laugh, dance, understand, learn and grow with these catchy melodies and interesting stories about growing up being present in the world for all of it's magic. My producer Brad Jones and I work together to make the music sparkle with love and energy. My girls and I sing the songs over and over until we get them just right. The perfect song heard at the right time can open your child's mind by bringing her closer to the experiences in her life..

Mindful Kids’ Music

For You:
When I was little my mom brought me to piano lessons in Hollywood CA. We’d make the LONG drive and she’d leave me there for an hour (or stay and read). She did this for years and years. Playing piano (and then performing) gave me a great deal of confidence and freedom in my heart because it connected me with my mind, my heart and my awareness. These seeds were sown early and often and I thank my mom regularly still (I am 48).

Children oftentimes get glimpses of who they want to be and what they want to do in the early years of life. Providing children with positive, fun and mindful experiences can create extremely strong and confident hearts and minds. There might be one singular moment that inspires your child at 4 1/2, that guides her throughout her entire life. What will that moment be?

As a mother who waited until she was 40 to start having kids, I pour as much art, music and mindfulness into my girls as I can… in small and fun doses. I hope that you will and can give your child music and art that inspires and teaches. I make music for my girls because it was my very best love as a child and it provided me with so much. I hope to share that love and present mindedness with you and your child…through song, rhythm and magic.

About Me:
My name is Deborah Poppink and sometimes Deborah Poppink Hirshland, and mostly, “mom”. DidiPop comes from when I was a kids (“Debbie Poppins”) and because it’s fun to say and sing. The Beatles are my inspiration, and I was raised on pop radio from the 60s and 70s and musical theater. I started playing piano when I was 3, guitar at 9 and songwriting at 17. My mom says I sang the day I was born. I’ve always loved great music, a catchy chorus and interesting story.

When I graduated from U.C. Berkeley with a social science and music degree, I taught at Los Angeles Unifed School District. From there I began teaching music and became known as “Piano teacher to the Stars’ Kids”. At the same time, I wrote songs (placing them on TV shows) and played around L.A. with my 5 bands. Then I got married to my music publisher, we had kids and my lovely angel girls, Delilah and Hannah, came into my life. Teaching, opening doors and inspiring is what I hope to do for them and for your kids too.

Please listen to music, watch videos and sign up on the mailing list. Most importantly, say “yes” to your kids as much as you can. And buy them smart, fun and appropriate kids’ music…what a worthy and valuable investment!
