Our Music Andrew VanWyngarden

Our theme song is written, composed, and performed by Andrew VanWyngarden. Nowadays, he is a real-life, Grammy-nominated musician who tours the world with the band MGMT that he co-founded while in college. Andrew started making music as a child in Memphis, Tennessee, using a Tascam four track tape machine to record. For the Story Seeds theme song, he was inspired by the magical and playful theme songs of classic children's shows he watched as a child such as Reading Rainbow, Maya the Bee, and David the Gnome.

It's Our theme song. Come sing along!
