Every Child Wins is a children’s education entertainment duo founded in 2015 out of a necessity to simultaneously entertain and educate children everywhere. With the birth of his son, Troy Washington often meditated on ways to equip his son with the tools necessary to thrive. He broke it down into 3 categories: education, problem-solving, and confidence. Thus began his quest to find tools that embodied these core values. After 2 years of spending hundreds of dollars on products that had more bark than bite, Troy took matters into his own hands. Being a gifted producer and songwriter, he understood firsthand the power songs had in influencing and expanding minds. Since no one ever forgets lyrics to their favorite songs, music is unarguably one the most powerful educational tools available.

It was then that Troy reached out to his longtime collaborator and friend Jelani Clay, who was quick to get on board with their educational endeavor, giving birth to the duo Every Child Wins. Using his own son as the first official test subject, Troy proved that Every Child Wins had successfully created the formula for quick and effective learning. As Jelani states, “Many children’s songs miss the mark. They either focus on entertainment or education, but never both. This leads to annoyed parents and bored children.”

The duo released their debut album Every Kid’s A Genius: Lesson 1 in 2015, filled with fun, and easy-to-learn songs. They went on to win the Excellence in Children’s Music Award by the Songwriters Association of Washington that same year and have since performed for United Way, National Association for the Education of Young Children, the City of Arlington, Childcare Network, Dallas Zoo and many more.

Once exposed to Every Child Wins, parents witnessed the positive changes in their child’s abilities along with a greater demand to hear more. As Troy puts it, “It’s like a kid saying ‘No mommy, I don’t want any candy. I want more vegetables.'”

Every Child Wins is not just a music company, it’s an educational company with a focus on helping to build a confident, educated, problem-solving young generation where every child wins. They will soon be releasing their follow up album Every Kid’s A Genius: Lesson 2.
