If you’re a rapper, singing a song about “Hannah Montana” certainly won’t get you any street cred! But Lloyd Harold, also known as Kidsyc, is on a mission… one he calls a “musical movement” for his little sister to meet one of America’s biggest “tween” stars.
Harold, a full-time art teacher at Pooler Elementary, came up with the idea of creating a “Hannah Montana” song after talking with some of his students. “I was at the elementary school,“ Harold says, “and played one of my songs for the kids and realized that they assume that ‘rapper’ means famous. They thought that Mr. Harold could get Hannah Montana. I didn’t want to say no.“ He couldn’t say no to his eight year old sister Amber, either, who comes to Savannah to visit him every summer. “My sister is a Miley Cyrus fanatic,“ he chuckles.
Harold says he believes kids of all ages are attracted to Miley because she seems very grounded. “She hasn’t let her status or her fame go to her head and young girls notice that.“ So, he did what he does best… he put pen to pad and came up with a pretty catchy tune. “It started as like a joke,“ recalls Harold, “just me kind of saying "Hannah Montana" over and over in my head. I made a beat to it and came up with a song.“
His next step was to get folks to listen and eventually bend the ear of Miley Cyrus. So, he posted his song on social networking sites like Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook hoping someone will take notice and take his request to heart. When asked what it would mean to him to pull this off, he proudly said, “I would feel like the most awesome big brother ever! I think it will be a milestone in our brother-sister relationship.“
After all, who needs street cred when you have the respect of your baby sister?
Amber will be in town next week to visit her big brother. We’ll let you know if she gets her wish. In the meantime, you can listen to the entire “Hannah Montana” song by KidSyc by clicking here: KidSyc-Hannah Montana
