Meet Patty Shukla, the multi-talented, award-winning American artist and creator of Patty’s Primary Songs, empowering young learners across the globe through music. Patty’s exhilarating journey began at the tender age of 4, singing harmoniously with her twin sister. As years flew by, she started creating original compositions at the age of 13. The joy of crafting tunes led her to earn a degree in theater and music from Florida State University, paving her way toward a promising career in music in Atlanta, Los Angeles, and New York.
Parenting brought Patty back to her roots in Florida, where she discovered the transformative power of music on her non-verbal son’s development. Sharing these melodious creations on YouTube led to a rush of appreciative comments and requests from teachers and parents globally. This unexpected recognition transformed into a mission for Patty to forge an engaging curriculum of music for children. Fifteen years later, Patty now boasts an astounding 2.6+ million subscribers. Her award-winning efforts, recognized with the 2024 Parent’s Pick Music Award, include songs for babies, toddlers, infants, and elementary students, underscoring her significant impact on early childhood education through music.
Patty’s music, much like her life, spins around joy, learning, and the virtue of making learning fun. Not only does she weave together interactive elements into her music, such as musical chairs, colors, stretches, counting, and phonics, but she also ensures that play transcends the barriers of the screen and impacts the developing minds of the young audience. Children are invited to sing, dance, and learn with Miss Patty’s Early Childhood Music, an immersive and enjoyable educational platform.
With a significant influence on children’s music, Patty has recently collaborated with Jack Hartmann, a renowned educator and YouTuber, further enhancing the spectrum of Patty’s Primary Songs. Eager to expand the horizons of children’s learning, Patty dreams of collaborating with other children’s creators and musicians, including Raffi, Laurie Berkner, Bounce Patrol, and the Wiggles.
Patty’s accomplishments go beyond her soaring YouTube subscriptions. She takes pride in the impact her music has on early childhood development worldwide. She’s a proud author of books for Amazon Kindle, an in-demand keynote speaker for childhood educators, and most treasured of all, a devoted mother of three. Patty envisions her educational-interactive music as a universal tool for educators, making her music accessible on multiple platforms.
Engaging with thousands of children weekly through her mesmerizing performances, Patty balances a fascinating array of roles – from songwriting to performing, speaking engagements at conferences, and raising her three children. As an ambassador for early childhood education, her current project narrows on creating music centered on words of affirmation and diversity. Deeply committed to the inclusivity of her music, she’s rigorously working on translating more songs into Spanish, reflecting her family’s South American roots.
In line with her journey as a multifaceted artist and dedicated educator, Patty is set to deliver a keynote address at the Ohio AEYC Teachers Conference this April and embark on her 14th consecutive summer tour.
