Commercial producer and electronica recording artist The G-Man
is voiceover talent and music composer on two radio spots for
aerospace giant Goodrich.
LOS ANGELES, CA USA – While some musicians sing on radio
commercials and some actors speak on them, very few people get
to do both. But Scott G, who writes and records as THE G-MAN,
did just that on new radio spots for Goodrich.
"It's great to be working with such a high-profile client as
Goodrich," G-Man stated from his studio in Los Angeles. "Ninety
percent of the commercial aircraft in the world have at least
one product from Goodrich Aerostructures," G added, "so you know
there's a lot riding on the marketing message."
As the owner of G-Man Music & Radical Radio, creators of
award-winning radio commercials and music for both radio and TV
spots, Scott G is very aware of the needs of ad agencies and
advertising clients.
WEB-SAVVY: In addition to his ad and marketing experience, he is
very tuned into the Web. Earlier this year, hundreds of Web
sites and newspapers ran a story ("Peer-to-Peer to Launch a
Career") of how The G-Man made history by giving his music away
on the Internet, encouraging P2P filesharing of his work, and
even sending individual tracks to DJs and remixers so they could
create new versions of his songs. This resulted in club play,
airplay, an indie record deal, a publishing deal, and worldwide
press attention.
Songs by The G-Man have been called "Moby meets Bowie" (by
producer Pete Anderson), "Moby meets Devo" (by TV producer Paul
Rich), and "The rhythm of machines with melodies of the heart"
(by music writer Janis Amy). Released by Delvian Records, The
G-Man's albums are: GRIN GROOVE (2002), ELECTRO BOP (2003) and
PLATINUM AGE OF THE REMIX (2004), and each has been hailed as a
sonic masterpiece by reviewers.
THE PLATINUM AGE OF THE REMIX features G-Man songs in
dance/trance mixes by Matt Forger (Michael Jackson, Paul
McCartney); Random Distribution (who took a G-Man remix to #1 in
Russia); and DJ Insane (who took a G-Man remix to #5 on a
European dance chart). PLATINUM AGE is now in its third month in
the top forty on the Masspool DJ Association Dance/Crossover
Chart.
PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS: Scott is also a creative director of
the National Association of Record Industry Professionals
(NARIP), a member of The Recording Academy (NARAS) and writes
about music for many organizations, including MusicDish.com and
the Immedia Wire Service. The G-Man's songs are on iTunes and
Amazon.com as well as at http://www.delvianrecords.com,

Goodrich Corporation, a Fortune 500 company, is a leading global
supplier of systems and services to the aerospace and defense

Goodrich technology is involved in making aircraft fly, helping
them land, and keeping them safe. With annual revenues of more
than $4 billion, Goodrich is headquartered in Charlotte, North
Carolina, and employs more than 20,000 people worldwide in over
100 facilities across 16 countries.
MUSIC YOU'VE HEARD: "I love working with clients like Goodrich
and Verizon Wireless," G stated. "They want material that
catches your ear without distracting from the spoken message. My
music is on lots of commercials," G added, "but you often
wouldn't know it because it's in so many different styles. While
the tracks on my albums are electronic-pop, my commercial music
is in pop, rock, jazz, electronic, ambient - I did a polka the
other day. True, there wasn't an actual accordion in the room,
but it was a polka, nonetheless."
