Brothers Joel and Al McInnes (classroom teachers for 15 years) as well as their loveable friend Drums the Panda (Yes, he plays the drums) love producing videos and writing songs that engage children through movement and colour. Recently, Joel’s talented 15 year-old daughter Ava has also joined the core group of performers. But the family involvement doesn't stop there....all of Joel's and Al's 6 kids make regular appearances in the catchy music videos.

There has been plenty of bumps along the way in The Mik Mak journey. No more so than tragically losing our younger brother and pink Mik Mak Deano. He was an incredibly talented musician with a very cheeky smile that children just adored. Dean lit up the stage and just loved the buzz of connecting with young kids through music.

Dean’s passing has truly served as inspiration and provided heightened purpose for the group. We’re so blessed to be able to continue Dean’s work and share it with the world.
