The Roots & Amazon Developing New Children Series
The Roots and Amazon have teamed up to develop two new children’s series. South Street Sounds and an untitled live action series, will be executive produced by Tarik Trotter (Black Thought), Ahmir Thompson (Questlove) , along with their manager Shawn Gee and Brian Sher. The series’ will be produced in conjunction with The Root’s Passyunk Production company. Check out the official description below.
Written by Becky Friedman (Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) and featuring music by The Roots, South Street Sounds follows three friends growing up in the most musical of neighborhoods, where the birds tweet to a beat, every shop-keeper, pizza-maker and crossing guard dance perfectly in time, and having a bad day means literally singing the blues. With such musical surroundings, it’s only natural that these three friends have formed a band called “South Street.” Together, creative-scatterbrain Zora, future-entrepreneur Nick, and disaster-averse Tyson, pride themselves on playing gigs for any occasion: no event is too big or too small! No details are being provided about the live-action series.
Questlove explained,
As we venture into the world that is film and television production, we couldn’t think of a better partner than Amazon to help us develop these first two children’s projects.
Added Black Thought,
Our love for music started as young kids, and we hope to inspire a generation of future artists, musicians and music fans through the stories we tell and the music they hear on these shows.
The Roots are the house band on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and the members are Black Thought (MC), Questlove (drums), Kamal Gray (electronic keyboards), F. Knuckles (percussion), Captain Kirk Douglas (electronic guitar), Damon Bryson (sousaphone) and James Poyser (electronic keyboard).
They have released 15 studio albums and won four Grammys.
