Exclusive Interview with 'DIGGY KIDS ZONE'

Welcome to Diggy Kids Zone, a fantastic universe! A vibrant family of dinosaurs, Grandpa Dino is a beekeeper who values sustainability and environmental awareness, while Teen Dino enjoys surfing and is passionate about ocean protection. Both relate to tales of environmental awareness and conservation. Granny Dino is the patriarch, and she guides the family with her knowledge, enthusiasm for gardening, and oddball sense of humor. Granny enjoys imparting knowledge on growing your own food and ancient wisdom. The fact that Mommy and Daddy Dino are the center of the family illustrates how there are a lot of incredible moments concealed in a family’s everyday activities. Mommy instructs us in cooking techniques in addition to housekeeping skills. As a teacher, Daddy Dino instructs us in reading, counting, and a variety of moral precepts. Baby Dino is the star of the Diggy Dino universe. She is a tiny creative and intellectual powerhouse. She extends an invitation for us to enter her fantastical setting, the house of the Diggy Dino family. This family works well together and is not hesitant to ask questions, pick up new skills, or pass them on. They go through their lovely world together, known for their impromptu song-bursting, occasional family hugs, and continual laughter at Granny Dino’s inability to keep her Dino Teeth in her mouth.
The Diggy Dino Family’s theme song welcomes each member with a rousing ROAARRR! Say hello to Grandpa Dino, Grandma Dino, Mommy Dino, Daddy Dino, Baby Dino, and Teen Dino. With the silly Dino dance routines, you can’t help but bounce along to this catchy tune. Let’s sing, laugh, and study at Diggyville together as a family. The song is available in English, French, Spanish, Arabic, and Chinese. Check out the Diggy, Diggy Dino Song and the exclusive interview below:

1. Can you tell us a bit about where you come from and how it all got started?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: We enjoy making wholesome creative and fun content. Content being a song, a story, a dance or a joke. As long as we can put positive, fun material out into the world, to brighten up everyone’s day.

2. Did you have any formal training or are you self-taught?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: All three of us have formal training in our fields, be it Music, Musical Production, Script writing, Animation, or Character design.

3. Who were your first and strongest musical influences and why the name ‘DIGGY KIDS ZONE’ We are inspired by many cultural influences but our main creative drive is to make content that is fun and accessible, so we look at examples like Disney and many classical composers and pop movements, such as Korean and Western Pop music.

4. What do you feel are the key elements in your music that should resonate with listeners, and how would you personally describe your sound?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: The main elements we hope to resonate with our listeners are fun, accessibility and quality of content. Our sound extends beyond cultural borders and we hope to create joyous moments for all our listeners across the globe. We would describe our sound as fun, intelligent, quirky and relatable.

5. For most artists, originality is first preceded by a phase of learning and, often, emulating others. What was this like for you? How would you describe your own development as an artist and music maker, and the transition towards your own style, which is known as POP?
**DIGGY KIDS ZONE**:
Both Stoyan and I have extensive experience in multiple genres of music, and how to authentically translate these elements into the projects we work on. We certainly reference different styles, of music including pop and dance music. We also referenced bluegrass musicality in the Diggy Dino theme song.

6. What’s your view on the role and function of music as political, cultural, spiritual, and/or social vehicles – and do you try and affront any of these themes in your work, or are you purely interested in music as an expression of technical artistry, personal narrative, and entertainment?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE:

In general we do not involve any political or cultural specific themes in the Diggy Dino world. We would celebrate certain occasions in a broader sense, but in general we aim to include tolerance, kindness, unity, the value of family and relationships as well as how to learn and grow together.

7. Do you feel that your music is giving you back just as much fulfillment as the amount of work you are putting into it or are you expecting something more, or different in the future?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE:

We get a lot of fulfillment from the making of Diggy content, and we do have many exciting projects in the pipeline. The world is going to love the Diggy Dinos and all of their friends. We know there is so many more amazing things to come and we are super excited for everybody to be part of the Diggy Dino world.

8. Could you describe your creative processes? How do usually start, and go about shaping ideas into a completed song? Do you usually start with a tune, a beat, or a narrative in your head? And do you collaborate with others in this process?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE:

We have very different ways projects into realization, sometimes one of us comes with a single melody or a story idea, sometimes we have a little phrase that we then expand on. What we have learned is inspiration can come from anywhere, I once wrote the majority of one of the songs while doing grocery shopping.

9. What has been the most difficult thing you’ve had to endure in your life or music career so far?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: Sometimes the most difficult thing can be for other people to understand your vision and creative style, whereas this is not the case with our creative process. We are very blessed that our team is a collection of likeminded individuals.

10. On the contrary, what would you consider a successful, proud or significant point in your life or music career so far?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: Nothing beats the moment when a child listens to the music or discovers the magic of the Diggy Dino world. Seeing their little faces light up and experience pure joy, is something that will always make the effort worth it for us.

11. With social media having a heavy impact on our lives and the music business in general, how do you handle criticism, haters, and/or naysayers in general? Is it something you pay attention to, or simply ignore?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: There will always be people who do not get what you are doing or trying to achieve and that is part of life. We celebrate the good and the positive and we wish people well, and moving forward with the best intention.

12. Creative work in a studio or home environment, or interaction with a live audience? Which of these two options excites you most, and why?

DIGGY KIDS ZONE: All of the above, because each step has its own reward and special moments.

13. Do you think is it important for fans of your music to understand the real story and message driving each of your songs, or do you think everyone should be free to interpret your songs in their own personal way?DIGGY KIDS ZONE: As long as they have fun and it has some form of meaning to the listener, we are more than happy that they included us as a part of their day.
