Judy Lea has been writing songs since, like, forever. The first song she and her cousin wrote together was called, “Don’t Be Slow Baby”. (Very sophisticated for 9 and 10 year olds ☺.)

She won her first guitar in a jiving contest at the age of 15 and has been playing ever since. She’s been in rock, funk and pop/r & b bands and has sung and played guitar in at least 4 different duos over the years, doing everything from jazz to country.

After becoming a mother, Judy started performing at parties, celebrations and festivals for children and families, and has been teaching music and dance to kids, young and old for the last 25+ years.

Her first kids’ CD, “Too Much Work To Do”, was nominated ‘Best Children’s Album of the Year’ at the West Coast Music Awards way back in 1998.

These days, Judy mostly uses her songwriting skills and vocal, guitar and percussion talents to play for and teach music to the kids in Burnaby elementary schools.

Even though it’s still winter, you might be dreaming about summer at the beach,  but.. are you afraid to show your toes in public?

Imagine if you had TWELVE!! You might just have the ‘Twelve Toe Blues’. (recording below)

Then again, you might worry about what could happen if you got taken to ‘Sea Monster Daycare’ instead of your regular daycare! Here, at last, is her #claymation/ #puppet #stop-motion animation and live-action video for her song, “Sea Monster Day Care”. (co-written by Judy and cousin, Joni Miller). It was a long time in the making (stop motion takes forever!) but with lots of help from friends and grandkids (having fun making sea creatures with plasticine and paper mache’!) they got it done! (WARNING: Silliness content – very high! 🙂 #SoBadIt’sGood!
