Blueprint
songs for kids, families, and everyone
from Liam & Lex
The follow-up album to 2023's The World Wasn't Ready, here's Blueprint. The
album is full of fun, funny, family-friendly rock, pop, and jazz numbers that you'll listen to again and again.
Liam was 13- to 14-years-old during the process of making this album, and wrote and performed nearly every note — including keys, saxophone, guitar, and bass. He even handled drum programming, and played live drums on one track.
Dad Lex (mostly) writes the lyrics, Liam composes, and the two record together. This new album includes songs about robots, pie, pi, pizza pie, bikes, pronouns, dinosaurs, roller coasters, and more.

Frequently asked questions
Did Liam really write these songs? Is he really 14?
Yes. Liam was really 13 and 14 during the recording of this album, which spanned 2024 to March 2025. Liam's dad Lex (mostly) wrote the lyrics, and would hand those off to Liam, who would then put to music. Liam typically composes on the piano or guitar.
Let's Ride (Lex's Version) and I'm Hungry are the two songs that Lex wrote the core music for, but Liam played all or most of the instruments, and all of the solos. Liam and Lex composed Piemaker together, but again, Liam did all the hard work and played everything.
What instruments does Liam play?
Liam plays the piano, guitar, bass guitar, saxophone, and drums. On this album, more instruments were recorded live than any other album from Liam: bass, guitar, keys, and sax. One song has live drums, also played by Liam: Pi.
How did you technically make the album?
Liam typically records from an electric piano or from instruments plugged into a digital interface that feed into GarageBand on an iPad. Then we import the full GarageBand project into Logic Pro on a Mac. We record vocals using a couple different USB microphones, sometimes on the iPad, sometimes on the Mac. We mix and master in Logic and Fission.
Isn't this a lot of songs about pi, pie, pizza pie, etc? What gives?
Yes. Yes it is.
