Back in November
2003 I purchased my first personal jingle
from JAM Creative Productions using their
Personal Cuts service. Since then, the
collection has steadily increased, and I
now have over ten
individual cuts as follows (in chronological
order):- |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
BBC Radio 2 Master #114 (1996) |
December 2003 |
| |
Recorded in Dallas in December 2003,
this cut is taken from the BBC Radio 2 Custom
1996 package. JAM used the original soloist for my cut and thus, it sounds very much like the
version sung for Radio 2.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
"Turbo Z" Cut #9 |
November 2004 |
| |
My second JAM
jingle was recorded in November 2004 and is a
re-sing of cut 9 from the highly acclaimed
"Turbo Z" package. This package was originally
custom created for WHTZ (Z100) New York in 1989.

|
|
 |
Gwinsound Series 2 Cuts |
February 2005 |
| |
Gwinsound
is lesser known than PAMS, but was equally as good in
it’s heyday
in the 60's and 70's. In February 2005, I took the opportunity
to have two Series 2 cuts re-sung as part of a Ben
Freedman Dallas jingle session and the
results we're fantastic! Gwinsound re-sings are
available exclusively from Ben
Freedman. |

|
|
Ben Freedman |
"Maximum Firepower" Cut #4 |
June 2005 |
| |
Another Ben Freedman Dallas jingle session in June
2005 enabled me to have cut 4 from Ben's very own hot
country CHR package "Maximum Firepower"
re-sung. |
| |
|
|
 |
"We Play The Hits" Cut #4 |
August 2005 |
| |
With
the launch of TM
Century's new iJingles
service
in 2005, I couldn't resist having a
TM Century jingle
for myself. In fact, my jingle was the first to be
done under this new service! I chose cut 4 from "We Play The
Hits"; a package which was originally custom created
for the legendary KIIS-FM, Los Angeles in 1994.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
Sky Radio Master #98 |
May 2006 |
| |
Recorded in May 2006,
my third JAM jingle is a
re-sing of a cut originally created as part of a
custom package in collaboration with
Top
Format for Sky Radio in the Netherlands.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
"Celebrate" Cut #12 |
January 2007 |
| |
My
fourth, and most
recent JAM jingle, is a re-sing of
"Celebrate" cut 12 and was recorded in January 2007. "Celebrate" was originally
custom created in 1993 for KVIL in Dallas. In the
UK, "Celebrate" is probably best
remembered as the jingle package chosen to launch
Century Radio 100-102 (North-East) in 1994. |
| |
|
|
RadioScape |
"New Light" Cut #1 |
April 2007 |
| |
Following
an
announcement on JingleNews.com
in March 2008 that RadioScape
was now offering a personal jingles
service, I couldn't resist having a cut re-sung for
myself!
After much deliberation,
I eventually chose cut 1 from "New Light"; a package
custom created by Johnny Hooper for Christian music
station WAWZ (Star 99.1) New York. |
| |
|
|
 |
"Get Real" Cut #2 |
August 2007 |
| |
The first
S2Blue Podcast featured a competition to win a re-sing
of a cut from any of the packages on Steve England's
"Connected" CD. I was lucky enough to be one
of the three winners and opted for a re-sing of
"Get Real" cut 2. Thanks to all the people
at S2Blue for another fantastic personal jingle!
|
| |
|
|
|
"Good Time Classics" Cut #19 |
November 2007 |
| |
In
November 2007 I went back to iJingles for a
second cut. This time round I opted for cut 19 from the acclaimed
"Good Time Classics" package. |
| |
|
|
|
|
"CBS K-Lite" Cut #14 |
April 2008 |
| |
Recorded in April 2008 at the JonesTM
Studios in Dallas, this cut features the
sexy and soulful voice of Emmy Award
winning artist
Benita Arterberry Burns.
|
| |
|
|
|
RadioScape |
"New Light" Cut #9 |
February 2009 |
| |
When I first heard Nicky Schiller's version
of this cut in June 2007, I always knew that
I would have it sung for myself. Two and a
half years later it was time and I made
contact with the wonderful guys at RadioScape.
This cut features the lovely
Annagrey LaBasse on vocals;
one of the most popular and well-loved
voices in the jingle imaging industry. |
| |
|
|
|
|
"Miami's WAXY" Cut #11 |
July 2009 |
| |
Recorded towards the end of July 2009 at TM
Studios in Dallas, this is my forth personal
jingle from the great team at iJingles (TM
Studios) in Dallas. As well as obviously
liking the cut, I chose this one to be
re-sung because of the huge remix potential
due to the numerous remixes featured in the
1991 jingle package for BBC Radio York. |
| |
|
|
|
|
Sky Radio Master #167 |
November 2009 |
| |
Recorded in
November 2009,
my fifth JAM jingle is another re-sing of a
cut originally created for Sky Radio in the Netherlands.
This fantastic Christmas cut was written by
Tom Merriman. |
| |
|
|
|
|
"Simple & Free" Cut #24 |
February 2010 |
| |
I've always
liked the William B Tanner "Simple & Free" package written by Chris
Kershaw, with cut 24 being the
pinnacle cut in my opinion. My affection for this cut was
emphasised in 2007 when
Pete Wilson was the first person to
have it re-sung
at iJingles to celebrate his 30
years of jingle collecting.
My cut features the lovely Cheryl Cleavenger on lead vocals and lyrics penned
by Dave Nightingale on a lunch break in June
2009. |
| |
|
|
|
|
"New York's Best Mix" Cut #7 |
July 2010 |
| |
Originally custom created for
WNSR New York, the inspiration behind me
opting for this particular cut comes from
the re-sing for the BBC North FM Night
Network. |
