Music With Mandy treats you to a Sugar Rush in her sweet new single — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Calgary’s Mandy Morris, the children’s jazz artist and creative force behind Music With Mandy, weaves her magic once again with the warm vocals and light-hearted songcraft or her latest upbeat composition. Sugar Rush captures the essence of boredom, hyperactivity, and a sugar crash, creating a delicious treat for audiences of all ages. Mandy’s bright performances bring the lyrics to life, with kids in the audience mirroring the story’s emotions.
Surprisingly, the inception of Sugar Rush in April 2020 coincided with a moment of uncertainty. It unfolded when the pandemic forced a temporary halt in the production of her album From My Head to My Toes. Undeterred and determined to turn a setback into something sweet, she collaborated with seven-year-old prodigy Graham Smart over Zoom. Together, they crafted a musical tale centred around the allure of candy, inviting listeners on a whimsical adventure into a candy store filled with sugary delights.
Mandy is passionate about connecting children and their families with music, and Sugar Rush is another of her stories through song that helps young children navigate their emotions indulging in a music high that lingers long after the last note fades away.
Music with Mandy has been nominated for two YYC Music Awards and a WCMA. She has toured throughout Western Canada with performances at Fernie Culture Days, Hay Day Festival, JazzYYC, Calgary Pride and at the National Music Centre, just to name a few. When not performing or recording new music, Morris works as an educator at Stanley Jones School in Calgary. She is also the founder and artistic director at Create Kids Arts Society.
