So, I have had a busy week Spent 5 days in LA meeting with composers, labels and various TV people to spread the word about the Jingle Player. Did 14 meetings in the course of 4 of the days and felt like I was on amazing race. Had my GPS bouncing me around town and luckily everything got done and I met some cool folks along the way. One of those cool people was,Evan Taubenfeld, he’s a super talented musician and seems to have created a great brand around himself as well…you may know him as the guitarist for Avril Lavigne (he also produced and wrote for her).
It was also good to link up with my old friend Stu Stone. He has become a major player in the music scene creating beats and producing for all sorts of artists including American Idol alumns…
Back in NYC now and playing catch up. First order of business upon arrival here was was to log the back catalogue of ever growing tracks into the Jingle Player. We are now up to 3000 songs and have recently landed some sick bands including:
-The Izzys
-Bloody Social
-Hidden Tape Recorders
-Quitzow
-Setting Sun
-Siwat
Eagle & Talon
-Troy_Lund
-Kurt_Feldhun
-Valeze
Next order of business, was going to see more bands to get in the library. I had heard some amazing things about a band called Lizzie Trullie , so I went to check her out last night at Santo’s Party House. Was great show and I suggest people check out her music. Hopefully we’ll be getting her in the mix shortly, seems like she has some good buzz and a really good management team in place.
That’s all for now. Some big news coming up for Jingle Punks this weekend, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy on this topic. The only hint i can give, is this…

Shit…I’ve said to much.
