How does a song begin? Sometimes with a melody. Sometimes with a memory. Sometimes with the people who inspire us.
In this episode of Discovering Beauty with Orbit Deen, I take you behind the scenes of the creation of “Magic Day,” a song I wrote with my longtime friend and creative partner, Mista Cookie Jar.
Together, we share where the idea came from, how the songwriting evolved, and why this song became so much more than a children’s song. This episode is part personal reflection, part creative workshop, and part interview as we explore the inspiration, collaboration, and creative process that brought “Magic Day” to life.
Since its release, “Magic Day” has been streamed by families around the world and reached #1 on SiriusXM’s Kids Place Live (now known simply as Kids Place). The song is available on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, Amazon Music, and all major streaming platforms.
Whether you’re a songwriter, an artist, a parent, or simply someone looking for a little more beauty in everyday life, we hope this conversation reminds you that the most meaningful moments are often hidden in the ordinary.
