Pig Goat Banana Cricket
Dave Cooper kindly asked me to write songs for his Nickelodeon show, and let me tell you, I still remember the elation I felt when they sent me a contract and the cover letter was Nick Orange with “Happy Happy Joy Joy”. I made great friends on this show and had my songs sung by VO Legends:: John DiMaggio, Candi Milo. Paul Rugg, and so many more.

Jeremy and Jazzy
I got to help my best friend Jeremy on his new show. He looks exactly the same in real life. It’s really fun to work with Jeremy because he’s so very smart and I learn something every time we do something.

Humour Resources
This is a show that brought me a lot of joy to work on, it starred one of my oldest pals the great Jon Dore and many of my favourite comedians. There are some sweet jams in here, I like the song (I sang in Italian) in Ep 06 and the “Je Suis un Chat” in Ep 02. The Score was also nice cause I got to play a lot of pedal steel and Americana stuff as well as some fun orchestra stuff.

Go Away, Unicorn!
This was super fun to make, it was a small tight crew and they gave me freedom to do the dumbest things. It was a hoot to have something on Disney.

Esme and Roy
This was a cool co-production between HBO and Sesame Workshop and Nelvana. I wrote many songs, but I got to write a few lullaby, and that’s always fun. My friend Jonathan Evans did the score.

It’s True - YOU Can Hire Me!
Composing and Songwriting is super fun! Maybe you need me to make something for a project?
Let’s Friggin Do It!
MIXING music is super fun, you get to mash science and feelings together in a creative way.
Do you have things that need to be MIXED? I can do that!
SWEET SOUNDS: I can play some instruments quite well, some I can play well-enough, others I can program until you find someone who can Really play it.
I’m also not a crappy singer. I can do tight and precise harmony backgrounds or I can be a fake group of kids screaming some BGs. I’ve sung on TV theme songs, feature songs and live shows.
Maybe you need some sounds on your sweet hits?
I CAN FRIGGIN DO THAT≠!
