MAM Fam Composers Cuddle Up to Cameos

Composers for TV ads are often unknown and unseen in the commercials they help rock every day. Which makes it so fun when we recognize members of our MAM Fam sneaking into the vocals.

This February we were tickled to discover some of our friends hanging around in ads with their music.

First off, cheers to Greg Kuehn, Creative Director of Peligro Music. He is the star of this whole ad for Western Digital. He also wrote and created the ad's music (of course). The ad features WD's slick technology that helps him stay on top of his game in and out of the studio.

And MAM Fam buddy Flip Baber of johnny random posted in February that his 'crunching' can be heard in every Doritos ad since 2006. (Though probably not in Doritos' awesome goat ad that won a spot during the Super Bowl. Eh, Flip?)

So how about you? Have you sang, appeared in or crunched tortilla chips for a TV ad? Were you also writing the music for the ad, or get roped into by fellow composer? Ever end up on camera, too? How did it all happen?

Email us your stories and we'll compile the best ones into a future blog post.
