That's because she's a regular on Jack's Big Music Show on Nickelodeon, and a staple on the Move to the Music set of episodes that run on the kids' network. She's been making children's music since 1997, according to NJ.com.
Laurie Berkner (Getty) Berkner started off small and taught kids' music classes and played at birthday parties, then began making up her own songs to play at her gigs. Then things took off. She said about writing her own stuff: “It actually made it a lot easier to work with them because it was hard to find a song that every kid would like. And by me writing, it allowed them to move around the room in a way that I had control over the situation without them even realizing it.”She really hit it big when she scored a small segment on the Today Show in 2001, and then landed a spot on Nick Jr. three years later. Now she also does concerts for kids, which she calls birthday parties. She said her gigs “are still a concert, but there will be a stage set that will help create the feeling of being at a birthday party but with lots of music.”
