Bart van Gogh (Top of Mind, Netherlands)
Bart van Gogh, Senior Consultant at Top Of Mind BV
Bart van Gogh gets involved in Radio when he is still in High School.
Through the pirate radio stations in The Netherlands his desire to become a radio jock turns out into producing radio commercials and jingles.
In the early 80's he starts working for Top Format Productions and becomes an expert in arranging and directing vocal groups. During his many trips to Dallas, TX, USA, he learns the ins and outs of writing station call jingles from legendary people like Jon Wolfert and Tom Merriman. Bart produces thousands of radio ID's for stations all over Europe.
Then, around 2006, he finds out that teaching and coaching vocalists, as well as imaging producers is a new and interesting challenge and very much worth the effort. As one of the founders of Top Of Mind, Bart very often is a guest teacher at music and media universities and is coaching the production staff at several radio stations.
But he also still enjoys his work as a voice talent, because: "I will never renounce my love for the microphone; that's how it all started!"
