When I Was Her Age I Earned My Money Babysitting

A number of months ago we were approached to have Sofie work on a soundtrack that will accompany a book to be released next June. This project has been an amazing experience for her. Through it she has worked as a professional with experienced sound engineers, music directors and a number of talented musicians. The kids' band, Blame the Patient was also asked to write a few original songs for the soundtrack, the first of which is featured in the video. The promotional video below gives a glimpse of the project.
