Brian Jones

Brian Jones began his career as the front man in his own indie rock band, writing songs and touring the country. A few years into the dual roles of performer and manager led to an unexpected

engagement: In 1996 Brian was invited to join the William Morris Agency, the entertainment industry powerhouse, to work with the company’s A-List artist roster. In 2000 he returned to the music-making side, joining New York’s BANG Music as composer and senior producer. By 2004 he established himself as one of the shop’s most prolific composers and was made a full partner in the company. Brian’s writing credits range from multiple television series (Shear Genius, Blow Out, House Wars, MTV’s Summer on the Strip) to dozens of national spots, from Verizon and Mini Cooper to Victoria’s Secret and McDonald’s.

Lyle Greenfield

Lyle is a former advertising agency writer and creative director (J.Walter Thompson, Saatchi & Saatchi) who decided in 1990 that his true calling was to the “music side”. He initially set up

shop in legendary hip-hop studio Calliope Productions in New York City. In addition to music production, he established Bang as an indie label, releasing artistic projects with distribution by Rhino Records, MCA Int’l and MTV. Lyle was a founding member of the Association of Music Producers, and is the president of AMP’s National Board. (In his spare time, he built the first winery on the South Fork of Long Island - and served as president of the Long Island Wine Council for four years).

Aaron Green

As co-founder of LA’s Studio 8 Sound and Media on Demand Productions, Aaron Green started in feature film at a young age. In the mid 1990’s he transitioned into post producti

on audio and has been making sound waves in the entertainment industry for more than a decade. Focusing on the audio post arena, his production and creative credits have grown to embrace sound design and music supervision on over 80 feature films and television series (Spiderman 3, Batman Forever, Doom, the critically acclaimed hit Fox series 24 and dozens more). Aaron’s close relationships with directors, producers and audio supervisors at every major studio in LA have helped make his creative and production services an indispensable resource to the industry.

Brad Stratton

The newest of Bangolia’s New York force has been around the world of music - literally. From being a Polygram-signed recording artist in the Czech Republic performing 120 nights per year through

out Europe...to VP/Director of Music Production for advertising agency D’Arcy New York...to Executive Producer at Sound Lounge Music. A true Renaissance man, Brad is all things that the 21st Century music professional could possibly be: composer, musician, audio engineer, obsessive about quality and focused on the future of our constantly evolving industry. And with experience managing a multi-million dollar music budget as well as delivering quality on an indie shoestring, he makes business sense out of making music.
