Jared Gutstadt (born September 19, 1977), also known as Jingle Jared, is a Canadian-born entrepreneur, inventor, [1] [2] and musician best known for founding the creative music agency Jingle Punks (2008), and the scripted-podcast network Audio Up Media (2020).

Contents

Through Jingle Punks, Gutstadt acquired and created a catalog of 500,000 songs and a roster of over 1,000 television shows. [3]

His latest venture, Audio Up Media, specializes in scripted podcasts that feature original music from known and emerging artists. Audio Up's present and future collaborators include Dennis Quaid, [4] Anthony Anderson, [5] Scarlett Burke, [6] Michael Cohen, [7] James Ellroy, [8] Maejor, [9] and Stephen King. [10]

His musical collaborators include Bob Dylan, [11] Steven Tyler, [12] Timbaland, [13] Nas, [14] Lil Wayne, [15] Brad Paisley, [16] Miranda Lambert, [17] Machine Gun Kelly, [18] Jelly Roll,[ citation needed ] and others.

Early life and education

Born and raised in Toronto, [19] Jared studied media and culture at the University of Western Ontario. [20]

In 2000, he moved to New York City to attend NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. [21] Jared then worked at Viacom as a video editor on projects such as MTV Cribs and Chappelle’s Show. [22]

As a video editor, Gutstadt faced a licensing conundrum: the shows needed music, but known names were too expensive. [19] After Chappelle's Show executive producer Neal Brennan discovered that Gutstadt had worked his own music into the edits, Brennan called him a "jingle punk," and the moniker stuck. [20] [22]

Jingle Punks

In 2008, Gutstadt and Dan Demole co-founded Jingle Punks, a music publishing and licensing company headquartered in New York. With a catalog of nearly 500k songs, it forms one of the largest publishing libraries in the world. [3] Jingle Punks received ASCAP Film & TV Awards in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014 for scoring The Voice , as well as their theme song for Pawn Stars , composed by Gutstadt. [23]

By 2017, it had provided music to more than 1000 TV series, [3] including The Taste, Real Housewives of Atlanta, American Pickers, and Skip and Shannon: Undisputed .

History

Within months of launching the company, Gutstadt and Demole released their platform, "The Jingle Player" which provides targeted music selection with a searchable interface. [1] [2] Company-approved artists submit their music to the Jingle Player, with the profits split 50-50. [24]

In late 2012, talent agency William Morris Endeavor acquired a majority stake in Jingle Punks, and the company was sold again to ole Music Publishing in March 2015. [25] [26] In January 2020, Gutstadt left Jingle Punks to found Audio Up Media. [27]

Bear and a Banjo podcast (2019)

After collaborating on History Channel's 2016 revision of Roots, Gutstadt and producer Jason “Poo Bear” Boyd created a musical podcast Bear and a Banjo, which follows the unlikely duo of Bear (Boyd) and Banjo (Gutstadt), who are placed in pivotal moments of American musical history à la the 1994 film Forrest Gump. [28]

In what narrator Dennis Quaid describes as “a true fiction of American music,” [28] Bear and Banjo stumble upon the wrongful conviction of Lead Belly, an ill-fated card game with Sonny Liston, the wedding of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the birth of the CIA, and a young Bob Dylan at a softball game. [29] The accompanying album was produced by T Bone Burnett with an original song written by Bob Dylan.

Audio Up Media

In 2020, Gutstadt founded Audio Up Media, a production studio and platform for podcasts which Gutstadt imagines as “an HBO for your ears.” [30]

In May 2020, Audio Up received a 4.5 million-dollar investment from MGM Studios which includes a first-look deal at adaptations. [31] Two more rounds of funding included investments from the Weeknd, Ben Lurie, SiriusXM, Primary Wave, and Reservoir Media. [32] [33] With offices in Los Angeles and Nashville, [34] Audio Up plans to produce at least 40 podcasts a year that it will develop into IP. [19]

In 2020, Gutstadt received two Adweek awards for Podcast Innovator and Producer of the Year. [35]

Musical Collaborators

In a decades-long career, Gutstadt has collaborated numerous artists across multiple genres. [36] [37]

In 2013, Gutstadt co-wrote the theme for Pawn Stars with Lynyrd Skynyrd. [38] [39]

In June 2014, Gutstadt accompanied Nas in Johannesburg, South Africa, with his Jingle Punks-sourced The Hipster Orchestra. [40] This concert was later commemorated through nine NFTs with the proceeds benefiting Nile Rodgers' We Are Family Foundation. [41]

In 2014, Gutstadt produced Whiskey Sessions, a five-song acoustic EP for Jelly Roll which began Jelly Roll's transformation from Hip Hop to country and rock star.[ citation needed ] In a 2015 interview, Jelly Roll called Gutstadt "the jew who changed my life. . . he really built me into confidence in my voice and built the entire sound on what we are doing now." [42] They later collaborated on "Bad News Travels Fast" in 2016 and on Whiskey Sessions II in 2019. [43]

In June 2016, Gutstadt co-wrote "Hold On (Won't Let Go" for Steven Tyler's first solo album. [44] [45] In September, Gutstadt wrote and produced "No Mercy," the theme song for Fox Sport's Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, performed by Lil Wayne. [46] [47]

In 2017, Gutstadt and Timbaland co-wrote three songs for Brad Paisley's album Love and War on Arista Nashville. [48] [49]

In 2018, Gutstadt, Poo Bear, and DJ Khaled wrote the theme song for the Miami Marlins baseball team "Just Gettin' Started" which was performed on Opening Day. [50] [51]

On the 2019 Bear and a Banjo podcast, Gutstadt produced songs with lyrics by Bob Dylan and Zac Brown. [52] [53]

The Make It Up as We Go podcast (2020,2022) saw collaborations with Miranda Lambert, Lindsey Ell, Tyler Rich, Shooter Jennings, Nile Rodgers, and Liz Rose. [54] [55]

The Halloween in Hell podcast (2020) featured Machine Gun Kelly, iann dior, 24kGolden, Dana Dentata, and Tommy Lee. [56] [57] In April 2021, Gutstadt and Jeff Peters co-wrote Machine Gun Kelly's single "Love Race" featuring Kellin Quinn and Travis Barker. [58]
