Five Fun Facts with CHILD
Have you ever listened to a song that makes you feel like your life is a movie? Or like the track belongs in an episode of Gray's Anatomy or some other type of drama tv show? Those types of songs are often beautiful, with their melodic sounds and emotional lyrics. Well, "The Encounter" by CHILD is just that. And as I always say, don't just take my word for it, give it a listen and tell me you don't know what I mean.
The best part of us introducing you to CHILD today is that you can not only listen to the song but also watch the brand-spanking-new music video below. It transports you straight into the “landscape of hazy, midnight dreams” that he created with this track.
"The Encounter" is the only track he has out, and I can't express how excited I am to hear what he releases next. Not to mention what creative choices he will make for future releases. As you can probably tell by now, the aesthetic he creates is part of the package when presenting his music. It was refreshing to find out that his wife is partially responsible as she is his creative director. We also found out that his mother bought him his first instrument after God told her to do so. Boy, we sure are happy she did!
Below are some other facts he shared with us, we figured you'd get to know him now because we are telling you, this guy is going places and this is just the start.
My wife, Katelyn, is CHILD's creative director—responsible for all my design work. We've been married since May 2011.

The first song I wrote [that I recall] was about my kitten dying—I was age 7.
