Deb Snyder is a gifted writer of children's music, plays, books and shows.  She collaborates with Phillip Bynoe as the group, PBnDeb, to create original songs dealing with the everyday issues and joys of childhood.  They completed their first album, “Growing Up” in 2006, a songwriter’s compilation.  They released their second album “Zoo Dance” in 2008.  “Zoo Dance” is an interactive pop record enjoyed by kids from one to six and their parents. The music invites all who listen to sing, dance, act and even count bugs... loudly.
