Since the age of five, singer-songwriter Vicki McCrone has been inspired to make music. Over the years, from charting on the Top 40 Trax List to winning top spots in national singer-songwriter competitions, McCrone discovered her true calling as a musical artist: writing and singing Little Songs for children.

In 2006, after moving from San Francisco to her native Cleveland, McCrone began volunteering for Cleveland’s Positive Education Program. Every week, McCrone, along with her yellow lab, would visit children with autism. After one of the pet therapy sessions, she wrote a song called “My Little Dog.” It was an instant hit. The kids loved it. Moved by this wonderful experience, she began writing more songs and traveling school to school. Soon, Little Songs was established as a participatory program in schools.

In 2007, McCrone recorded two CDs: Little Songs: Animals and Little Songs: Earth, and she is currently working on Little Songs: Colors.

McCrone has been compared with top female vocalists such as Shawn Colvin and Paula Cole, and has received rave reviews for work on Little Songs. Little Songs is a culmination of McCrone’s passion for children, music and volunteering.

Classically-trained in voice and piano, McCrone has performed Little Songs in schools and in after-school programs through organizations such as Young Audiences of Northeast Ohio, the Ohio Arts Council and Neighborhood Players, a non-profit organization co-founded by McCrone.
