About Us

Friendly Folks, Inc. has been THE leader in the personalization industry for the last 15 years. 

Friendly Songs is a new division of Friendly Folks, Inc. and was developed with the idea that current personalized CD's have either terrible music, are poorly produced or they are annoying to listen to because the name is repeated a million times.  The product was developed by Scott Kochman, president of Friendly Folks.  With a background in music, Scott knew that he could put something together that would not only please adults, but inspire a new generation of children with songs that both entertain and develop a healthy self esteem.

Friendly Folks started in 1994 in Scott's spare bedroom and since then has grown into a internationally known family company.

Janice Guarneri
Vice President

After working for Friendly Folks and listening to dealers tell her how much money they were making week after week, Janice decided to become a dealer herself.  That was ten years ago and since then, she has been able to take her knowledge of what works "in the field" and help others achieve the same results.   Janice is familiar with every aspect of running a successful small business, from marketing, inventory management to accounting.  So the next time you speak to her, pick her brain!
