About WhisperWings

WhisperWings is a children's audio production company built on a simple belief: little ones

deserve a source of comfort, wonder, and safety, wherever they are in the world. Through

calming music, gentle stories and soothing wanderings, we nurture the hearts of little ears.

Our sound is crafted by extraordinary talent. Vocalist Ora Murphy, the original voice of BMW

navigation, and Emmy Award-winning composer and producer Eric Harper. Together,

WhisperWings has created a catalog that is currently being considered for a 2026 Grammy

nomination. Ora and Eric share one dream, no child should feel alone or anxious in an

unfamiliar moment.

There is no moment more in need of that comfort than a long-haul flight. Parents today have

almost no soothing audio option to help settle an anxious child at 38,000 feet. WhisperWings is

closing that gap, and we are building the relationships to bring our audio into the cabins of

leading global airlines.

We are establishing our brand across the aviation and in-flight entertainment industry, building

recognition with leading associations including the Future Travel Experience (FTE) and the

Airline Passenger Experience Association (APEX). Now we are looking for the person who will

lead that charge.

and Content Service Providers (CSPs) and getting WhisperWings audio onto long-haul

international flights.

This is a rare chance to own the commercial expansion of a beloved brand into a new category,

backed by award-caliber content and a mission that resonates with everyone who has ever tried

to comfort a child on a plane. You will be the face of WhisperWings to the aviation industry,opening doors and closing the contracts that put our audio in the seatback of every long-haul

carrier we partner with.

during the flying experience, and can turn that belief into signed IFE agreements.
