"'Bad Mood Mom' is magical, memorable, and melodic."
- Jamie Lee Curtis

Four-time Emmy Award-winning Jamie Broza has burst onto the children's entertainment scene with his new studio CD, Bad Mood Mom. Broza, a father of three, looks at life through the eyes of a child from ages one to seven, in musical styles ranging from rock to gospel to jazz.

What is this CD like? Imagine if a kid wrote a rock 'n roll song about those times when his mom was super stressed and super grumpy. Or a '70s style funk song from a kid who "just turned six last Saturday night" and is "so happy 'bout it!" Or "Secrets," a four-year-old's description of his private, no-other-siblings-allowed, play dates with his grandparents. The CD also contains "Are We There Yet?" a definitive - and hilarious - interplay between parents and their children on a car trip, complete with incessant teasing, arguing grown-ups, and a harmonica-practicing brother. Any parents who have ever found themselves at the end of their rope will relate to Bad Mood Mom, and kids will find these songs as funny and right-on as their parents do.
Pop this CD into your car's CD player and you are guaranteed a quiet and fascinated backseat!

  • Broza’s tracks play like catchy numbers from a stage-worthy musical!
    author: Los Angeles Times, July 17, 2003

    Backseat squabbles, scattered toys, waking up to pots-and-pans drumming sessions – accomplished musician and TV, film and stage composer Jamie Broza nails the rewards and challenges of parenthood with resonant wisdom, empathy, and humor from both parents’ and kids’ points of view in his first children’s album. With an expert, creative touch, Broza’s tracks play like catchy numbers from a stage-worthy musical.

  • Parents will feel understood and will laugh at the joyfully chaotic situations
    author: Patience Moore

    I listened happily to jamie broza's BAD MOOD MOM a few weeks ago, revelling in the different musical styles, the clear production, clever lyrics and great playing.... then I had another baby and BOY! all the songs came back to me with new meaning! Jamie's really captured the essence of young families in the wonderful music without , somehow, taking sides. Parents will feel understood and will laugh at the joyfully chaotic situations described in the lyrics...kids will recognize the scenerios and feel understood and supported by the fatherly empathetic humor. He cleverly uses other singers to create the family scenes. it's a really fun disc!

  • … a funny and completely winning CD that seems to understand everyone.

    Finally, musical tribute has been paid to those of us who, on occasion, find ourselves screaming at the top of our lungs when Junior stuffs cinnamon toast in the DVD player. This is a smart, catchy debut children’s CD … a funny and completely winning CD that seems to understand everyone.”

  • This is a worthwhile album that the entire family can enjoy together.

    author: Lynne Heffley, Parents' Choice Foundation

    There is sneaky magic in singer-musician Jamie Broza's brash, rock 'n roll, jazzy slice-of-life approach to parental and childhood challenges. He nails the first-grade swagger ("I'm Six") as well as a kindergartener's emotional highs and lows ("I am Five"). The two-year-old's I'm-the-center-of-the-universe-and-I-say-"No!" view of all he surveys ("I'm terrible") rings true, and so does a three-year-old's need for the comforts of babyhood to ease the frustrations of a widening world. ("Blanky, Piggie, Pacie").
