Yesterday, I turned in the first song for season four.
I’m about midway through the third season of “Phineas and Ferb”. I also got to hang out with Peter Frampton. By the time we were finished, he was a believable rock guitar player. Billy Crudup studied with me like a method actor. So you have also worked as a guitar coach for the fantastic film, Almost Famous, how did you like working the cast and crew for that film?Īlmost Famous was an amazing experience. Some families have sports in common, we have music. You can hear his vocals on third season “Phineas & Ferb” songs Aerial Area Rug and Dance Baby, or Phinedroids and Ferbots from season one. My son Aaron sings on many of the songs as well. In all honesty, it takes dedication and passion to see any project through.ĭoes your teenage son enjoy listening to your musical compositions from children’s songs/movies?įortunately, yes. It’s never easier in one genre over another. Doofenshmirtz is an eastern European villain. For instance, when it’s “Perry the Platypus”, I write for it as if it was for James Bond. When I write for “Phineas & Ferb”, I don’t think about adult versus kid shows. Is it easier to compose music for children’s shows/movies rather than those geared mainly toward adults? It is very cinematic and the songs were great. What has been your favorite show to work on so far? Since my background is songs, I bring that sensibility to my scores. It’s natural for me to pick up my Les Paul and just start to play. Every composer has his or her go-to instrument. What do you think makes your compositions different from other similar shows? It’s my job to create productions that are true to the genre, to make the songs stand on their own. I think kids and parents, alike, know when they’re being snowed. I definitely do not write “down” for children. It’s fantastic! Animation has a long, long life, especially well-crafted songs. How does it feel to know that your music for “Phineas and Ferb” spent over 100 weeks in the top-15 on Billboard’s charts? Once the animation is complete, we’ll “spot” the episode with the show runners for ideas about the underscore. Songs are recorded in pre-production (before animation begins) usually about a year in advance. As the song producer and composer of the underscore, I’m locked in my home studio working on pre-production and post-production, at the same time. I work with the “Phineas & Ferb” cast to produce their vocals. After the show runners send me a rough demo, I put in an all out effort to make it a record.ĭo you work with the cast at all while composing music for “Phineas and Ferb”? Fortunately, “Phineas & Ferb’s” creators, Dan Povenmire and Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, are really musical.
#PHINEAS AND FERB THEME SINGER FULL#
Although I’ve toured with different artists, it’s my earliest years of working in bars in Top 40 bands that prepared me with a back pocket full of authentic styles and sounds. How did you come up with idea to give the show, “Phineas and Ferb” a cool, modern vibe bringing together many different artists? As a featured guitarist, Jacob has performed on the “triple crown” of critic-awarded projects: On “Shrek,” which won the Oscar® for Best Animated Picture on the Emmy® winning Bette Midler HBO Concert “Diva Las Vegas ” and on the Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin’s “Heaven Help Us,” which won the Grammy® for Best Duet Influenced by his life-long experience as a world-class guitar player, Jacob bridges the worlds of score and song. As composer and producer of the songs for Disney Channel’s mega-hit animated series, “Phineas and Ferb,” Jacob’s music is fresh, original, multi-dimensional and at times even hilarious. He has composed more than 300 songs for show and is currently working on the third and fourth season of the show.Ī three-time Emmy® nominated composer, Danny Jacob is raising the bar for commercial success in today’s television music. BSCkids recently got the chance to interview the musician behind the music of the hit cartoon, “Phineas and Ferb,” Danny Jacob.
