BEST CHILDREN’S MUSIC ALBUM

“STARCHILD Vol. I”

Divinity Roxx | Divi Roxx Kids

Starchild Vol. I is the imaginative new musical adventure from two-time GRAMMY nominated recording artist, composer, educator, and author Divinity Roxx. Blending hip-hop, funk, storytelling, and boundless imagination, Starchild takes kids and families on a cosmic journey where each song reveals another chapter in one extraordinary girl’s search to discover who she truly is, and the star power that’s been inside her all along.

At the heart of the story is Starchild, a young girl who appears to be an ordinary kid on Earth but is, in fact, a celestial being from a distant galaxy. As mysterious clues begin to reveal her true origins, music becomes the key that unlocks an adventure across dimensions, unforgettable mentors, and the truth about who she really is. Along the way, she discovers that the extraordinary power she’s been searching for has been within her all along.

Get lost in the Starchild galaxy!

With Starchild Vol. 1, Divinity Roxx builds on the joyful foundation of her two GRAMMY nominated family albums, Ready Set Go! and World Wide Playdate, while taking her most ambitious creative leap yet. Drawing from the funk, hip-hop, soul, and fearless musicianship that have defined her career, she invites young listeners into a musical world that’s imaginative, adventurous, and unmistakably her own.

“I truly feel like I was destined to make this album, not just for the little girl in me who was always chasing the light within, but for all the Starchildren out there on the verge of discovering their own inner light, their brilliance, and their passion,” says Divinity Roxx. “It’s already inside of you, just waiting for you to choose it.“

As the story unfolds, each song opens another chapter of Starchild’s journey. From her arrival on Earth in “Starchild Intro” and the energetic “Wake Up – Rock N Roll Time,” she struggles to find her place before discovering her musical gifts when her uncle places a bass guitar in her hands in “Yeah Yeah Yeah” and “Rock It Out.” Dreams begin revealing clues about her true identity in “Starlight,” eventually leading her to another dimension where she meets legendary funk pioneer Bootsy Collins as the unforgettable “Number One Funkateer,” who entrusts her with a gift no one can ever take away. By the album’s end, songs like “Super Girl,” “Shake Off the Blues,” “Life Is But a Dream,” and the joyous finale “Welcome to the Cookout” celebrate confidence, resilience, family, community, and the power of embracing exactly who you are.
