LA is a haven for arts and entertainment, so it should come as no surprise that there are dozens of amazing local bands just for kids—and for their music savvy parents. You shouldn’t have to choose between listening to the Frozen soundtrack for 2 years straight and precociously playlisting pre-teen pop to tiny tots. So don’t! Check out our favorite stars of the local scene; we guarantee you’ll want to jam to these LA kids bands just as much as your mini DJs.

Ozokids

If you've ever been lucky enough to catch a live Ozomatli show then you already know that their symphonic, crowd-pumping blend of rock, Latin and hip hop beats lends itself perfectly to the fun-loving, high-energy kids crowd. The members of the long-time LA staple thought so too, which is why they created Ozokidz: all the flair you love about Ozomatli with more G-rated tunes tailored to the family set.
