Itty Bitty Beats is an award-winning children’s duo from Aotearoa, New Zealand. 

Jenny Payne and Lucy Hiku bring their infectious energy and endless creativity to make kids music with their unique mix of folk, pop, and jazz.

With a Tui Award and a bunch of nominations to their name, Jenny and Lucy’s music isn’t just entertaining—it’s educational, helping young ones develop language skills, coordination, and social interaction. Produced by Jenny’s husband, Rob Payne, their songs are crafted with care (and a good pinch of magic).

Forming in 2014, they have published a children’s book with Suzy Cato with Scholastic, appeared on Sony compilation ‘Suzy Cato Presents The Totally Awesome Kiwi Kids Album’ and have even graced the cover of Avenues Magazine & the NZ Womans Weekly! 

Their catalogue includes a number of collaborations with artists across Germany, America, New Zealand and Australia. Itty Bitty Beats is spreading joy and celebrating the global kids’ music scene. Dive into their world and join the fun—where every beat is a chance to dance, laugh, and learn!
