Steve Couch

Steve Couch is on a mission to help children grow up strong and smart.
He composes and performs children’s music for kids from two to ten years old, using their interests as his themes. He sings about good values like diversity, friendship, exercise and the importance of reading, and has produced children’s song favorites like “Numbers ‘Round the World”, “Let’s be Friends”, “Animal Dancing”, “I Like to Read”, and ”Junk in My Room”.
As a musician, Steve has lived in Boston, Manhattan, Atlanta, Jackson, and Las Vegas. He has toured all over the U.S., Japan, and Philippines in original and concert bands like the Chubby Checker Show, sharing the stage with national acts like the Beach Boys, Cheap Trick, Talking Heads, and Sammy Davis, Jr.
After leaving the touring life and moving back to Iowa, he started his own video and interactive animation company, creating award-winning animations, jingles and music beds.
Steve constantly studies how humans learn. He sees how important music is to early child development and how powerful music is to change peoples' behavior. After writing so many jingles that influenced children to buy things, he decided to start writing songs that that used the same principles as advertising to make songs that help children become better, healthier people.
He has created the “Step Up” Bullying Prevention program for grade school children and performed hundreds of his "I Like to Read" Show in front of thousands of children.
His album “The World is a Rainbow” won The 2008 Best Recording for Preschoolers ages 3 to 5 from the Children's Music Web, the only awards that are judged and chosen by kids.
