A new compilation EP features Jordin Sparks, Walk Off the Earth, Jaden Michaels, and Waxahachie natives Smithfield.
Growin’ Up Holiday, a festive compilation featuring some of today’s hottest artists, was released by Platoon a few weeks ago. The family-friendly EP includes Grammy-nominated superstar Jordin Sparks, Multi-platinum Walk Off the Earth, country duo Smithfield, and singer/songwriter Jaden Michaels, who also executive produced the project.
The four-track EP is an extension of Platoon’s ongoing family-friendly music series that began with Growin’ Up Country Vol. 1 & 2.
“I am so excited to expand the ‘Growin’ Up’ collection and release our first ever holiday project,” Michaels said. “There’s nothing quite as magical as the holiday season when you’re a kid, so I wanted to capture that child-like magic with Growin’ Up Holiday.
“It was an easy ‘yes’ to join this project when I heard the song ‘S-N-O-W,” Sparks said. “It’s such a fun song and catchy song. And as a parent, I loved the idea of being a part of kids’ holiday wonder and memories as they grow.”
Country duo SmithField is composed of lifelong friends Jenn Fielder and Trey Smith of Waxahachie, Texas. They sing “Hey Rudolph” on the EP. Earlier this year, they released their debut album, Country With Heart. Read more about them in the County Line eMagazine.
The multi-award-winning and GRAMMY nominated label Platoon was founded by music industry legend and CEO Denzyl Feigelson in 2016. Platoon landed its first success shortly after their inception when they signed the then-unknown Billie Eilish, laying the groundwork for her ascent to global stardom. Their visionary spaces in London, Los Angeles and Africa boast recording studios and also provide inspiring ecosystems for artists to openly collaborate, have access to educational classes, and find guidance across music and marketing.
