Daniel Broder

Daniel Broder is best known for writing and recording the children's song "ABC 123" in 1995. The song became widely popular with its simple educational lyrics and catchy melody, reaching an international audience. Beyond that track, he has other songs like "Army Of Dreamers," "Burn Heart Burn," and "Cruel Town" in his catalog.

He was born in New York City and started as a pianist with classical training before moving into children's music. Some of his other recordings include collections like "Daniel Broder's World of Animals" and "Daniel Broder's Nursery Rhymes." He performs with a band that includes Sarah Thomas on vocals and guitar, Michael Scott on bass, and John Smith on drums.

While "ABC 123" brought him recognition, he also faced some criticism about the artistic value of his children's material. He kept working in that style, putting out sing-along albums and maintaining that music could both teach and entertain young listeners.
