Children’s music has seen a significant evolution with the rise of technology and more kids being exposed to social media. Millions of parents worldwide use YouTube to find videos to entertain their babies and toddlers. Today, one of the channels with the most subscribers is Cocomelon, which features a variety of nursery rhymes and other children’s music.
Another channel that hopes to replicate Cocomelon’s success is Molly Kidz TV, owned and managed by famous children’s presenter and performer Molly Wellon. Like most personalities on YouTube, Molly uploads videos to capture people’s interest, with her target audience being kids and parents. Molly Kidz TV just turned one year old on the platform in December 2021, with an accumulated number of views of over 47,000.
Molly performs in all of the videos uploaded to the channel, which is composed of her covering popular nursery rhymes. The first video on the channel is Molly’s version of the all-time popular kids’ song “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” Since its release on the platform in early January 2021, the video has had more than 5,000 views and has received favorable reviews from its viewers.
Molly made a follow-up nursery rhyme to keep the channel’s momentum going within the same week of uploading “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes.” She shared her take on the famous English folk song and fingerplay “Five Little Monkeys,” complete with enthusiastic actions and colorful animations. This second upload is currently the most viewed video on the channel, with close to 13,000 views in under 11 months.
Singing, dancing, and entertaining people have always been part of Molly’s identity, so she decided to use these skills to make a living. When she grew up, she developed a sincere love for children and making them smile gave her an inexplicable joy. Molly combined her talents for singing and dancing with her passion for teaching kids. The result is her career as a children’s performer.
Molly’s success on YouTube became her ticket to fame and grabbed the attention of event organizers that need talented and vibrant performers for kids. She made her stage performance debut at the Gloworm Festival, held in the middle of August 2021. This experience gave Molly a world of confidence and opened up opportunities for her to present on an online learning platform for children.
Aside from performing for children and putting a smile on their faces, Molly is a proud mother to Isabella. She works almost 50 hours a week but makes sure that she gives Isabella her utmost love and care. To spend more time with her daughter, Molly quit her previous job and chose to work as a freelance artist. Giving up her job also allowed her to express her creative side and explore many other parts of her personality.
Molly took a huge risk when she gave up her day job to pursue her love for making children happy. She believes that her decision led her to the success she’s enjoying now, plus she’s able to spend more time with her family.
