Ricky Anderson, the 20-year music industry executive and former Head of A&R at G.O.O.D. Music, recently announced the launch of a new animated musical series called 'The Tunies.' The new streaming content will be available on YouTube and follows the adventures of Avery and his diverse group of friends at Chasin' Clouds Daycare.
Produced with unmatched music and video production quality, the series hit YouTube just two months ago and has already accrued nearly 6 million views and well over 100,000 watch hours, catching the attention of celebrities including 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Christina Milian, and Jimmie Allen.
"It's so key that children see representation at a young age and there is definitely not enough quality content available," says Anderson. "I watched a young boy point to The Tunies crew and tell his mom that the boy had the same hair he did. As a father who is raising children of color, It's important for me to bring more of those moments to families across the globe."
