LISTEN TO HAPPY HALLOWEEN EP HERE
New York, NY – October 10, 2025 — Sumo’s World, the family-friendly musical collaboration between GRAMMY® Award-winning producer, songwriter, and artist Theron Thomas and his 12-year-old son Sumo, is here to make your Halloween holiday a treat with their exciting new EP, Happy Halloween. Featuring five new tracks, this fun-filled, spooky season release is perfect for parties, pumpkin carving, and celebrating all things Halloween!
Packed with festive vibes and playful lyrics, Happy Halloween features songs about smiling pumpkins, friendly ghosts, mountains of candy, and the thrill of the spooky season. Alongside the title track, listeners will enjoy dance-ready hits like “Monster Step” and “Get Spooky,” making it the ultimate soundtrack for this time of the year!
“I’ve been working in the studio with Sumo and thought it was time to change things up a little and have the kids play something other than ‘Monster Mash’ on repeat this year. The five new tracks are just fun, good vibes. It’s the unfiltered joy of the season through kids’ eyes: pillowcases full of candy, carving pumpkins, dressing up and playing a few pranks,” says Theron Thomas.
“Watching Theron, a master of his craft, collaborate with his son Sumo has been an absolute joy. Their creative energy is infectious, and it really shines through in this EP. They’ve created a modern Halloween soundtrack that families have been waiting for. On top of the fantastic new music, the animated version of Sumo also has a new, re-vamped look that we can’t wait for everyone to see. It’s the start of an exciting new chapter for Sumo’s World, and honestly, there’s nothing this duo can’t do!” shares Bree Bowles, SVP of Republic Records: Kids & Family.
Sumo’s World continues to bridge family fun and musical excellence—just as they did with their hit single “Koala,” debut EPs Let’s Learn and Mommy’s Boy, and fan favorite songs like “Clean Hands,” “ABC,” and “Days of the Week.” The project is highlighted by Theron’s signature production quality, with kid-friendly lyrics woven into infectious melodies, making learning and celebrating together a shared adventure.
Theron Thomas, a celebrated GRAMMY® Award-winning artist known for his work with Bruno Mars, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, and many others, channels his musical expertise into empowering and joyful content for families worldwide. His partnership with his son Sumo signifies a new chapter in kids’ music—one that’s innovative, fun, and meaningful.
