This is my positive message for everyone to hold their head up high when encountered by someone who thinks less of them. Don't let it get to you! You are unique in your own way and no one has the right to denounce the person you are. Dismiss those people and leave them behind! They are not worth your time to listen to.

If you like this track there should be more to come. :)

When They Come At Us (ft. Bougie BG) by CJ Flanagan

This is the country tune I produced. I tried to get real cliche with the southern culture references and throw in some nice slide guitar.

Hey Baby What's Your Name by CJ Flanagan

It is time for me to demonstrate my arranging expertise. Take an extremely complex EDM tune and convert the bleeps and bloops into melodic lines for horn players to play. (0_o) Was one heck of a challenge, but it came out spectacular.

Illmerica Big Band Arrangement by CJ Flanagan

This is my first time writing for an orchestra and I wanted to convey a dark and haunting emotion with a lamenting break in the middle. Check out how I switch around the contrapuntal melodic lines.

Jotaro's Lament by CJ Flanagan

This is a lovely song that I produced for my good friend Allie Brill. She is a great songwriter and has a gorgeous voice. Also my good buddy and ex-roommate Philip James played guitar and sang background vocals. Came out great, enjoy!

My Mind Goes by Allie Brill

This is actually the audio for a video project where I had to take an existing commercial and redo all the SFX, Voice Over, and music.

The track complements an Axe commercial promoting their Shower Gel product. It is of a boy who uses the Shower Gel to wash off at the beach and magically his movements control all the surrounding women's hands. The end is really funny. Check out the original at:

Axe Shower Gel Commercial Project (Audio Only) by CJ Flanagan

This is another video project where I had to take an existing commercial and redo all the SFX, Foley, and music.

The track complements an Audi car commercial promoting the brand Audi. It portrays a boy who is being forced to go stag to his prom. Then his dad lets him take the Audi and now he's all excited. Next marches up to the prom queen and plants a big kiss on her. Watch the rest of the video to see what happens to him next. It's hilarious. You can find the video here:

The intro with the family is from the original video. When the Car engine starts, everything else was done by me except the crowd gasping at the kiss.
