    TORONTO --

    Audio house Silent Joe has rolled out its new baby brother, Junior Joe, a full service music production company dedicated to children’s programming. Launching the new venture are partners Jody Colero, Trevor Allan and Jane Heath. Colero is owner and creative head of Silent Joe and Junior Joe. Heath, who continues as exec producer at Silent Joe, serves in the same capacity at Junior Joe. And Allan, who remains a producer at Silent Joe, assumes the head of production mantle at Junior Joe.

    While Silent Joe has long been involved in sound production for kids, the studio felt the time was right to dedicate an entire shop to the children’s world. And so Junior Joe was born, addressing a need for a studio that not only offers clients a roster of musical talent, but also one that embraces a true full service model.

    Junior Joe incorporates music composition–including score, themes, songs, bumper and sting packages–with sound design and studio services. In addition, Junior Joe has assembled a team to provide vocal coaching, voice casting and direction.

    Musically and philosophically, Junior Joe embraces the fact that young ears are wonderfully sophisticated. Great music is great music. It should get kids moving and smiling by speaking to them, not condescending to them.

    Currently in production at Junior Joe is the second season of the series The Adventures of Napkin Man (Breakthrough Entertainment/Little Airplane/ Kids CBC), The Moblees (Season 2-Shaftesbury Kids/Boulevard Productions/Kids CBC) and The Stanley Dynamic (Amaze Film + TV/YTV).
