Doug Fleming is committed to creating and performing engaging music primarily for children ages one through eight-year olds that promotes movement, learning and having fun.
Music has always played a prominent role in Doug Fleming''s life. He launched his professional music career early when, in fifth grade, he landed his first gig as lead guitarist in a local band, "The Peacemakers." Besides playing in and writing pop-style songs for Seattle-based bands throughout his youth, Fleming regularly participated in school musical events including a lead in "The Mikado" and minor roles in two other Gilbert & Sullivan operettas. As a student at University of California Santa Cruz, CA, he began writing pop/rock tunes in earnest. In the mid-80''s, he returned to his native Seattle where he contunied to play guitar with regional groups, write music and pursue an early childhood education certificate and teaching credential.
In the early 1990''s, Fleming landed a teaching position in Seattle''s Head Start program. Inspired by the need to jazz up the curriculum, he began writing and performing music that taught kids while they had fun singing and dancing. His songs were a big hit. After almost a decade of teaching and writing tunes for his class, Fleming decided to take the next step and cut his first CD-"Little Square Wheels."
