The Upsy Daisies are a vibrant children’s music duo on a mission to get families singing, moving, learning, and smiling together. Created by musician Hilary Ladd and educator Kristen Anderson, The Upsy Daisies combine upbeat original music, playful storytelling, and developmentally-informed learning moments to spark confidence, curiosity, and creativity in young listeners.

Hilary is an experienced songwriter, performer, and vocal director known for crafting heart-lifting musical experiences that bring communities together. Kristen, an elementary school teacher and spirited children’s entertainer, brings classroom-rooted expertise, boundless imagination, and a whole lot of joy. As two moms to two young children each, they deeply understand how meaningful music can help kids feel brave, kind, and celebrated for exactly who they are.

With catchy melodies, movement-built choruses, and themes centered around feelings, friendship, phonics, and play, The Upsy Daisies offer music that little ones love — and adults don’t mind hearing on repeat. Their sound blends pop, folk, and gentle rock influences with repetition, rhythm, and call-and-response elements that support early learning and full-body participation.

The duo’s debut EP, released October 4, 2025, introduces their bright, imaginative world — where every song invites kids to wiggle, wonder, sing loudly, and shine proudly. On stage and online, The Upsy Daisies create joyful spaces for children, families, and educators through music-rich videos, classroom-friendly content, and interactive live performances.

Whether you’re dancing in your kitchen, learning along in the classroom, or joining them at a show, The Upsy Daisies inspire every child to move, laugh, learn, and “just be you.”

Let’s make some joyful noise together!
