Testimonials from our clients
“Our company produces direct response infomercials and commercials. We've used Jon for a number of wide-ranging projects from computer software to vacuum cleaners to personal mobility vehicles. Personally, I've always approached music in advertising from a standpoint of “how do want the viewer to feel?” Jon gets this and his musical touch is what helps separate our spots and drive them towards success. He is fun to work with.”
- Chris Brimmer / Sendtec
“I've been working with Jon and Amodeo at Amodeo Music for about a year now. Our rapport was immediate, and I can honestly say that I always look forward to the times when I get a call from a producer asking if I can do a job at Jon's, because I know that it will be comfortable, professional and fun.
All one has to do to check Jon's musical chops and look at the musical instruments he has displayed along with the vintage album covers hanging on the wall, to say nothing of the musical creations he shares with you. I'm guessing the "scales' are as much a part of his life as, let's say, breathing or eating. The times when he says, "Hey, wanna hear something I laid down the other day?" That is a moment that is meant to be enjoyed. To hear it on his state of the art studio equipment is a treat, indeed.
From my end, Jon ALWAYS makes me feel comfortable when we record and work together. Whether it's a gentle suggestion, a cup of coffee or his infectious enthusiasm I know he recognizes that the talent, producer, engineer and equipment all must work synergistically for the job at hand to be the very best it can be.
When I work with Jon, I look forward to the integrity and honesty he applies to his craft because, in the long run, it'll make me look good."

“I trust Jon with my songs and he has amazed me every time, always coming up with new ideas “
- Lou Simon, Singer/Songwriter
“Jonny, Thank you for your mastery of musical arrangements. Thank you for
your wonderful interpretation of every song I have ever recorded.
Recording in your studio over the past 15 years has just about consumed my
lot of happy and treasured memories that I will cherish for a lifetime. Your
equipment is state of the art, your studio, intimate and comfortable and
your coaching talents for what needs tweaking, has been a real gift to me.
My songs came alive as a result of your music. Marvin Hamlish has nothing on
you dear man! I will continue singing for as long as you as keep arranging.
Tony Bennett, look out!"

“I've had the wonderful pleasure of working with Jon Amodeo for about
10 years, and he never ceases to amaze me. Whether we need an attention-grabbing high-energy commercial bed, a compelling background score for a corporate or medical production, or a period piece from any era, Jon always creates the absolute perfect accompaniment for all of our production needs. He's not only a brilliant, creative composer and musician, but he also possesses an incredible ability to understand and meet the unique objectives of each production he scores. Plus, it's astounding how fast he can turn a job around! Even better, he's great to work with! He's the best!!!"

“I first walked into Amodeo Music to record some original songs in the
fall of 1997. I had never written anything prior to this, much less experienced
the recording process. I was scared witless.
I played my first song for Jon. He gave me some good feedback, some
suggestions, and we went about laying down a rough version. I left him with the tune, and he called after completing a rhythm tract.
When I heard my song, I was shocked and amazed. He nailed it! He not
only nailed it, he stole it out of my head! He listened to what I wanted to
express: the tone and mood and meaning of the lyric. He did not impose his
own ego, dazzling solo techniques or agenda into my material.
I have since recorded nearly forty original tunes at Amodeo Music. Jon
is clearly the most naturally gifted musician I have ever encountered. He is
proficient on numerous instruments, (including vocals), a great arranger, and
most importantly, an encourager. He is the rarest of gems in the music
industry: a super-talent who is also a super -cool human-being."

“I met Jon Amodeo many years ago when I first decided to write and record my own music. Although I have a BA in music education, I was mesmerized by Jon’s talent, skill and knowledge of the music industry. Through his direction and encouragement I found myself growing as a songwriter and performing with a new sense of confidence.
Over the years, Jon has transformed many of my simple melodies into musical “Works of Art.” These songs have been used to encourage military families during Desert Storm, to help fight child abductions through the Interstate Association for Stolen children, and to bring inspirational messages to many people. Indeed, working with Jon has been the most amazing, enjoyable and gratifying experience of my life!!!"

“Jon arranged the first original song I had written and recorded. He was able to evoke the exact atmosphere I was imagining while I was writing this song. I have gotten very good responses from this song, no doubt due in part to Jon's contribution. His musicianship is intuitive, creative and of the utmost caliber. I look forward to collaborating with Jon again on future projects."
- Crista Orefice (singer/songwriter)
“I have been fortunate enough to work with Jon Amodeo for many years. In our creative industry competition is fierce and Jon is certainly regarded highly by all who have worked with him. As a studio engineer and producer, Jon has the innate ability to put you at ease while accomplishing a polished and professional product. As a musician and songwriter, his versatility and talent set him apart. I still marvel at his big ears and amazing chops. All this and he remains a sincere and genuine person all the while. I will always look forward to working with him”.

“Amodeo Music has been pivotal in the success of my commercials - He has scored spots that have reached sales exceeding $100,000,000 -
They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery - and others, have undoubtedly recognized John’s style in the industry, as it has certainly been used as a template.
Why go to the imitator when you can have the originator, and that is why Amodeo Music is my source for all my short and long form commercials.”
