Launch of the JinglePlayer 1.0 and Chef Jeff Project

Friday, October 10th, 2008

After 8 years of composing music for TV, film and commercial projects I have finally found time to do what I said I would from the beginning…Organize the tracks in a web based searchable player.

Today, is a happy day for me. With the help of my programming team (cudos to Dan Demole and Jim Martinez for being so goddamn smart!) we are un-officially launching the Jingle Player (official release date is Oct 30th and we are having a big party at CAKE SHOP on the LES to celebrate…you are all invited…more on that soon)

OK…now for some cool news. Anyone out there who watches Food Network should tune in this weekend to catch the premiere of the Chef Jeff project which is our largest Jingle project to date. This show is sure to be a hit and we were thankful to be part of this creative process. Anyone who knows the backstory on Chef Jeff is sure to be inspired. He’s Oprah approved and really is a great person who I think will become a huge star. (thank you Adam Z and Mike M for bringing Jingle Punks onto this amazing show!)

That’s all for now.

BTW. this would not have been possible for me without the help of my amazing production coordinator Ricky Sanchez whom I highly recommend to anyone who will listen. He diligently entered thousands of song titles into a database and entered in reams of information that it should have taken a full team to do.

Jingle Punks does Nike

Nikefootball.com Pro Moves
Client: RGA      Brand: Nike

 

Our new friends at RGA digital hired us to make some sports cues for a cool NIKE project. In this NIKE campaign it teaches wanabee football players (such as yourself???) some super duper skills.
 

The first 4 videos (feat. James Harrison, Hines Ward, Lofa Tatupu, and Marcus Trufant) are up at Nike. Enjoy…learn all these skills and you may or may not end up in NFL?!     

I tried some of these moves in my office today and broke all my stuff by accident…oops:

Next stop on the Jingle train…Chef Jeff project for Food Network. Tune in next week for more on this.
