Pete Moss has been connecting children with nature for over a decade. Drawing inspiration from everyday birds, plants and weather, Pete’s playful folk-pop style and sophisticated songwriting have earned him thousands of listeners across the world. With lines proclaiming “the sun, the moon, the stars are shining, in one dandelion” and referring to Chickadees as the “timbits of the sky”, Pete’s songs inspire empathy, wonder and affection towards the natural world.
Pete’s work is influenced by training in Place-based education, which is grounded in the principle that building genuine relationships between young people and local environments encourages care and empathy towards nature as they grow. His goal is to shine a light on local living things that are often overlooked in media and creation. Red Winged Blackbirds, Milkweed plants and Juncos are brought to life through joyous, catchy and often emotionally impactful pieces.
In addition to his work as a children’s musician, Pete offers guided hikes, nature play pop-ups and school programs in communities across Ontario. Pete’s work has been featured on CBC Here And Now, Owl Magazine, CityTV, and named a Critics Pick by NOW Magazine.
