About the Guest:
Sam Tsui (SHOO-ee) and Casey Breves (BREV-ess) are married singers, composers, and content creators who live in Los Angeles with their daughter, Elaia, and cat, Alfie. They are graduates of Yale University, where they met singing in an a cappella group together. With original songs and covers that have been viewed and streamed over a billion times, they’ve connected with fans worldwide, both online and on tour—and they are now thrilled to be sharing their love of music with fans.
They are now authors of Why Do We Sing, which uses gentle rhyming text and a musical adventure around the globe to introduce the magical world of singing—from Bollywood to Broadway to your own backyard. Through depictions of other cultures and people, this book encourages empathy, appreciation of diversity, and respect for others. Sam and Casey wrote the book together and Sam did the illustrations. They have an album coming out, Kids & Family, which is a companion to the book, featuring all original songs.
