An interview with Ari Gold
"I was a huge fan of Jem before I was on it and Ford
kinder and Ann Bryant who wrote the music for the show
had a part for a child, Banee (I was about 12 at the
time) so they immedietly asked me. I knew them because
I did a lot of jingles for them (like My little Pony,
My Buddy etc.) I was born in 74. I have all the Jem
episodes on tape--it was the coolest show."
"By the way, I don't know if this is clear but I am a
biological man who could sing like a girl (or an 8
year old Vietnemese girl!) before puberty struck. Just
want to make sure there's no confusion."
Were you the singing voice of the other Starlight Girls, Ashley, and Krissie too?
"I did not do any of the other starlight girls
although i'm sure you've noticed that many of the
speaking voices do use their voices for more than one
character. I have done lots of other voices for other
characters like, Sybal Sadie on the Cabbage Patch Kids
record. I have done back-ups for Diana Ross."
"A little story: Recently, my brother met Britta
Phillips and recognized her name from Jem (I used to
really want to meet her but we didn't record our songs
at the same time.) So he brought her over where I was
hanging out with my friend who was having a birthday.
She told me all this great Jem gossip. My friend who
was having his birthday is also the worlds biggest Jem
fan so he got the birthday present of a lifetime!"
"Anyway, I'm thrilled that Jem lives on on the
internet because she certainly does in my heart.
I'm working on starting my own Website for my music
since I just completed my first CD, but it will
probably take a little while.
I am currently performing in New York City my own
music which is R&B/Pop at a place called Starlight
(nothing to do with Starlight music!)."
What songs are on your CD, and how and where is it available to buy?
"About my CD, It is not yet available for purchase. I
just finished all the music and recorded all the songs
and am uncertain as to whether a record label will put
it out or if i want to put it out on the internet and
such."
The song titles are:
"The style is R&B, a little Babyface, some George Michael, old Madonna, the ever cheesy but still delicious Mariah Carey, and a touch of Synergy's power."
