About the SqueeGees
The SqueeGees are Samantha Tobey and Roman Bleum, both accomplished musicians who decided to work together. Samantha was teaching music and sign language to infants and pre-K children when the project began. At the time, Samantha often felt disappointed in the quality of the children’s music she heard and used for class. “As musicians, we took it as a challenge to write a children’s album that would be educational, catchy and easy on the ears for parents. We did it for fun and it has caught on better than we anticipated,” said Bleum.
