Look Both Ways.
A children’s song and call for road safety
01 / The Campaign
Music.
Safety.
Action.
My debut children’s song is a call for road safety! I’m combining my passion for music, education, and advocacy with his new single, “Look Both Ways,” an engaging song created to teach young pedestrians about road safety.Whether in the classroom, at home, or in the community, the message is simple:
STOP. LOOK. LISTEN. THEN CROSS SAFELY.
I’m a biker, avid walker and father of two children who are still learning to navigate the world around them. We’ve had countless experiences in the DC, Maryland and Virginia areas with drivers who don’t adhere to yielding to pedestrians. The current road fatalities count is about 50 incidents lower than last years total with 320 fatalities to date in comparison to 376 for all of 2025. While national percentages have fallen significantly, regionally, our number have been on the rise.
Don’t forget to “Look Both Ways!”
