Jon Mullane song scores Olympics TV commercial

Jon Mullane

Halifax singer-songwriter and SOCAN member Jon Mullane's song "Make You Move" has been selected by American television network NBC as part of its promotional campaign for the 2008 Summer Olympics.


Mullane's song is one of five being used on late-night television to promote NBC's coverage of the Olympics. The commercial, with Mullane's name displayed as the spot plays, will air during The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Last Call with Carson Daly. Mullane co-wrote the song with producer Creighton Doane, and it's published by Flying Disc Publishing. The song was initially released as a single from his 2007 album, The Source, and is now moving up the Canadian charts.


Mullane first connected with NBC through the Atlantic Film Festival's Music & Image program, which offered local musicians an opportunity to meet with film and TV music supervisors and executives.
