About Tay & Friends

At its core, Tay & Friends is a holistic children’s media company specializing in sing-along books and songs. What began as a single song designed to help kids regulate their emotions has grown into a vibrant collection of sing-along books focused on nurturing children’s emotional well-being and personal development. Our mission to offer a safe space for kids to explore hope, passion, and wonder through song and art

Meet Tay

Founder/Author/Songwriter

With over 10 million streams and music placements with Gatorade, Paramount, and Netflix, Tayler Denae is now bringing that same magic to kids’ music. Based in Colorado, she’s the founder of Tay & Friends — a holistic children’s media brand focused on creating sing-along songs and books that are both fun and emotionally supportive.

Inspired by a song her dad wrote when she was two, and years of writing music for her nanny kids, she’s on a mission to make kids’ music that actually helps kids grow — blending nostalgic folk-pop with themes of emotional regulation and personal development. No cheesy sounds, just meaningful music kids (and parents) will love.
