IUCU Jingle Producer and Artists |
---|
![]() Greg McGuirk (Composer / Producer / Keys / Drum Programming) Greg got his first synthesizer in 1979, before he got his first car. In fact, he owned five synthesizers, a Hammond organ, and 2 pianos before he got his first car. Let’s just say he’s a little obsessed with keyboards. McGuirk has been a full time, commissioned composer for over 25 years. He has produced well over 100 jingles and has earned numerous industry awards for original music. He has worked for clients locally, regionally, nationally and internationally, writing for the likes of Visit Indiana, Rolls-Royce, RCA, Purdue University, Indiana Pacers, Herff Jones, IU Credit Union, the Hoosier Lottery, and Quit Now Indiana. As a sideman/keyboardist, McGuirk has performed at Lilith Fair, opened for Yes, Kansas, Little Feat, Big Head Todd & the Monsters and others. He arranged Jennie DeVoe’s music for orchestra and conducted her 2012 show with the Muncie Symphony Orchestra. Greg’s solo instrumental music has been featured in Keyboard Magazine’s Discoveries, along with having some of his innovative synthesis techniques published. McGuirk also serves as Music Director for his church and in 2013 & 2015, for the denomination’s General Assembly. Greg is happily married (over 35 years!) with two kids, two grandkids and two crazy dogs known to friends & family as "The Replacement Children.” |
![]() Josh Kaufman (Lead Vocals) Since winning Season 6 of NBC’s The Voice, Josh Kaufman has kept busy making music in a variety of different settings. Highlights include appearing as a guest vocalist with The Roots on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, making his Broadway debut as the lead in the Tony Award-winning revival of Stephen Schwartz’s Pippin, headlining the Indy Jazz Fest, hosting Yuletide Celebration with Maestro Jack Everly and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and releasing a six song EP and a full album (co-written and produced by LA-based singer/songwriter/producer, Bleu), as well as several self-produced singles. Naming soul legends like Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye and introspective singer/songwriters like Jeff Buckley and Paul Simon among his favorite artists, Kaufman says one of his main goals is to make music infused with a powerful intimacy. “I’m a pretty reserved and introverted person by nature, and singing has always been a way to express the things that I might not express otherwise,” Kaufman notes. “At its best, music creates this deep emotional connection that transcends explanation,” he continues, “and that, I think, is what keeps me making music.” Aside from writing, recording, and performing his own music, Kaufman is involved in a number of other pursuits. He has worked extensively as a producer for other independent artists. He devotes some of his time to teaching music, offering one-on-one instruction and workshops. He writes and speaks on a variety of topics—philosophy, art, religion, ethics, etc. He and his wife, Jenny, run Raven & Crow Farm, a small flower farm just north of Indianapolis. Josh, Jenny, and their five kids live in the north suburbs of Indianapolis, IN. |
![]() Alaina Renae (Lead Vocals) Alaina’s debut album, The Introduction, proudly displays her Gospel heritage, which is expertly woven throughout her soulful sound. While Alaina says she is not the product of her environment, she is clearly the product of her upbringing — she was raised in the church and taught to be soulful — that is exactly what you hear on this album. There are hints of jazz and R&B throughout her music, but this petite woman can belt out a song, putting her heart and soul into each word she sings. "I am a soul singer," states Alaina. "Every day that I sing, I put my life into it. If I'm singing, you will feel what I am singing. I draw you into it. It's personal. I make it personal." Alaina recently released another smash hit called "It's You". She also tours with the Jim Irsay Collection Band which features music giants like Kenny Wayne Shepard, Ann Wilson (Heart), Buddy Guy, Mike Mills (REM), and many more. This is just the beginning for Alaina. |
