This is the story of how we started writing family songs to ritualize connection with our kids, and then created a universe of characters to bring those songs to life.
Read MoreTiny Prime is a heartfelt collaboration of two parents embarking on an exploration of childhood, connection and mental health through music. Comprising the dynamic pairing of Lisa Tucker Cummins and Ryan Cummins, this musical venture is an endeavor to empower the next generation with the tools they need to navigate life’s journey with a song in their hearts.
Lisa, the lead vocalist has been no stranger to the spotlight. Since her childhood days, she dazzled audiences with performances in The Lion King to the Top 10 of Season 5 of American Idol. Her voice, ethereal and powerful, has the unique ability to transport listeners to a simpler world. Lisa took a break from music to embrace a new role as a devoted mother. Now, with a heart full of love for both music and family, she is back on stage, but in the hopes of making children feel like the stars.
On the other side of this musical partnership stands Ryan, an entrepreneur turned children's songwriter and storyteller. In becoming a father, he discovered a passion for creating magical tales and crafting melodies that resonate with the innocence and wonder of childhood. Through his heartfelt songs and stories, Ryan sparks imagination, laughter, and valuable life lessons in the minds of children (and inner children of all ages). And while he brings a sense of playfulness to the band, he also takes kazoo playing very seriously.
Together, Lisa and Ryan form the heart and soul of Tiny Prime. Their debut album, “Rufus and Bea” is an enchanting fusion of genres, taking inspiration from folk, jazz, soul and classic children’s music. Its songs are adorned with heartfelt lyrics that speak of love, family, connection, and the power of presence, resonating not only with little ones but also with the young at heart. Tiny Prime’s music is a celebration of life's little moments, reminding us all to cherish the wonders that surround us each day.
