Thanks,

Angela Janota

Director of Visual Presentation

Angela Janota  has an eye for visual presentation and costuming. She is the Queen of frugality and can stretch a dollar farther than anyone I know. She was the first to join the team as costumer for the “Young Robinhood”  musical a few years ago. She is the strings teacher at Gifford Elementary School Racine. She is the one who taught me the most important lesson of my career: “Keep the audience in mind when programming.” The kids had just sung “No Surprises.” I attended Angela’s concert where she had kids playing “Eye of the Tiger”, “Purple Haze” and “Devil Went Down to Georgia.”
The audience went nuts. Since then she designed and built the cake dress, got her husband to build us the big drum for “Acapella”, and provided the trololobot and dressed him like Eduard Khil. She is my #1 partner in the idea stage.

Director of Engineering

Brett saved the day when the kids knocked the robot’s head off. He also made the iconic backdrop from the original Trololo video. When we need something electrical or mechanical to happen, like in the upcoming Robot Unicorn Attack song, we ask Brett if it is possible.

Michael Briel

Internet Technical Advisor

Michael Briel joins us from Germany. Michael is an electronic music advocate and creator and has become our Internet Technical Advisor. When ever I have a problem with YouTube or the way others have used our videos I go to Michael.

Biography of Michael Briel:

Both born (1971) and raised in Sinzig, Germany. Was a member of the local school’s choir. When, in the 80s, I got my first Commodore C64 homecomputer, I already was a fan of the electronic music of Kraftwerk or Jean Michael Jarre so I started writing my first own tunes.

In the 90′s I moved to Bonn, not too far from Sinzig, where I ended up running the local computergames shop for seven years. Then I had an office job for another seven years and today I’m working as a webbuilder/designer for corporate customers, shopowners, or Bands and Musicians (that’s when I can be the most creative, which is the most fun ^^).

For some years now I haven’t really made any more new music, but lately I have become more active making my own videos on youtube – so the creativity is still there, it seems.

Aleksandr Kutznetov

Russian Cultural Advisor

Aleksandr is our Russian Cultural Advisor and lives in Ufa, Russia. He is a business software specialist and mathematician. When I tried to find the music for Trololo I was completely unsuccessful. I resorted to a message in a bottle and emailed a Russian man that had donated a few $$ to our choir after “Still Alive.” Aleksandr Kutznetov found the score on a Russian music site and then translated the opening credits for us.

Donovan Senzig

Graphics Director and Technology Advisor

Donovan has designed all of our logos, tshirts and digital download single covers.  He is the computer software guru and has been indespensible in helping with video production and everything software related.  He has an incredible ear for music and understands better than anyone the artistic director's sense of style.

Jeremy Peters

Current Music Advisor and lead guitarist

Jeremy has played violin and guitar for many of my choirs.  He is a musician of the highest caliber.

Other members of the team include Ken Norman and Candy Kopecky.

Keith Griffin

I am the director of the choir. I’m the vision guy and I rehearse the choir. My strength is in recognizing the skills of the team members and allowing them to do their thing.
