Take That is an English pop group, formed in Manchester in 1990. The group currently consists of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, and Mark Owen. The original line-up also featured Jason Orange and Robbie Williams. Take That were formed in 1990 by their manager Nigel Martin Smith in Manchester.

Take That Love Rat: Howard Donald's secret lover speaks out about their 10-year affair after gagging order is lifted. He tried to gag her over spilling details about their secret ten-year affair. But today, Take That's Howard Donald's secret lover Adakini Ntuli has opened up about their illicit relationship after a 'super-injunction' he was granted against her was lifted. And it was also revealed that Donald, 42, cheated on both mothers of his two children with Ntuli after they met in 2000.

In April, Donald obtained a gagging order preventing details of his relationship with the soul singer being made public.

But last month it was lifted by the Court of Appeal and although intimate details must remain private, the fact the affair took place can be reported. Speaking exclusively to the Sunday Mirror, Ntuli, who sings in a pub band, said she didn't want to betray Donald but then she found out he had another mistress. And she added that she believes his court action was to stop any more women coming forward. She said: 'His court action has exposed his infidelity rather than keep it secret. I would never have shared our secrets. He knows I'd never have betrayed him.' Ntuli said she met Donald in July 2000 at the nightclub in Manchester where he was DJ-ing, while he was living with Victoria Piddington, the mother of his ­daughter Grace, now 10.

Single mother Ntuli, who came to Britain from Zimbabwe with her mother and step-dad when she was eight, said: 'I was single and craved some excitement. 'I was singing in a soul band and writing songs. I wasn’t a star-struck young girl. I didn’t even know who he was at first but I found myself chatting to him after his set.' And she said although their relationship started off as an affair, she fell in love with him even though she knew he was in a relationship.

But she added that she didn't feel like his mistress and they regularly went out in public together and with his friends.

She said: 'Anyone who noticed us would have ­assumed we were an item, not an ­attached guy out with his mistress, 'We would be in hotel lobbies together. He never tried to hide me or smuggle me in. I felt like an actual girlfriend.'

But in July 2003, they stopped meeting up after Donald split from Piddington and began seeing former model Marie Christine Musswessels, who is the mother of his youngest daughter Lola, now five. Ntuli said she felt hurt and tried to move on but the affair was rekindled soon after before stopping again in November 2005 and starting again in 2008, but then again ended again after a few months. Ntuli said they briefly saw each other last year but then it emerged in March this year that he had been cheating on Marie with another mistress - and it was the last straw for Ntuli.

She said: 'I snapped. I was so angry. I thought I was the only one he was having an affair with. It felt I had been led on and manipulated. I was devastated.'

She then sent Donald an angry text that read, 'Why should I continue 2 suffer financially 4 the sake of loyalty when selling my story will sort my life out?', but admitted that she was in a bad place when she sent it and was terrified when Donald's lawyers contacted her about him seeking an injunction against her. She said: ' I couldn't' tell a soul what was happening, not even my mum. It made me ill and I was admitted to hospital with depression, anxiety and neuralgia. 'I now want to tell the whole story. I think it is wrong that celebrities are able to use the law to cover up their actions. 'I loved Howard once but he let me down so badly.'

Sonic Branding - Music Production

(© 2016 Jon Brooks)



Definition of Sonic Branding? (Audio Branding, Sound Branding, Music Branding)
- An audible identity, a sound signature crafted to suit a brand aiming to achieve a sense of familiarity with audiences and consumers. Instilling trust and positivity. Sculpting specific music and/or audio frequencies into organised sound.

What is my composition process?
- I always start with a lot of questioning. What's the director's vision and how can I translate that message to the intended audience musically. This stays with me from the first note to the last. 
- What mood, instrumentation, tempo, orchestration and style of music will i choose and direct myself in?
- Do I need to create a theme that can then be exploited in various ways if required?
- I sometimes rely on musical cliches (stylistic devices employed that have an obvious emotional reaction), yet at the same time put my own stamp on it.
- My output is usually defined by visuals. This gives me a sense of what is required, along with the music brief from a creative director. 
- Generally I like to experiment until something feels 'right'. Often tinkling around on the piano or other instruments. I never wake up in the night with anything composed for me; I wish... although when I'm in the moment creating, it often pieces itself together and I wonder how it happened... Magic!
- I create music either digitally produced, with live musicians or the two combined.

Can music be used as a way of differentiating a brand from its competitors? In what way?
- Yes, because music can be created and used to reinforce a brand's identity along with their visuals. It assists a brand to locate a unique place in time and space. Music taps into the senses and the subconscious mind and can therefore evoke strong emotions and associations - these can be used to identify and manipulate one's mind. Sonic identity can help to form certain perceptions of a given brand. Being able to instantly identify a brand because of hearing a few notes and associate that with memories is powerful. Getting a catchy tune or motif looping in someone's mind is more influential than people realise. The memory and musical associations can last a lifetime.

How can music and audio add value to a brand?
- Music and audio can take a brand to another level. I like to believe that sound is equally as important as visual media. Where required, audio and music can be specifically crafted to sound expensive, classy, technological, futuristic, positive or familiar... helping to build relationships, reliance and trust with products and brands. Certain musical devices can be employed to manipulate consumers and their perceptions. Music is highly influential. Words alone might not always tell people how unique a product or brand is. "Music expresses what cannot be said".

Once a sonic identity has been established it can also be re-produced, transposed, remixed, re-arranged and adapted to suit individual productions for the same brand. As long as the thematic elements are still recognised; even at the very least, if only on a subconscious level.

ARTIST NOTES
(Lynsey Grace) Everything is a very personal song to me and one which Im excited to release as my first track from my body of work. Im extremely proud of the song as I poured a lot of emotion into the lyrics. I hope the listener will feel this and be able to relate to some of the lyrics themselves. Jon Brooks created the emotive and beautiful music which complements the lyrics and enhances the emotional response I was aiming to express. The track is soulful and raw, and there is no doubt this song was written from the heart. Everything is a very special song to us both, it was the first track that really connected with Jon and I. It also confirmed we have a special creative bond and musical working relationship.

LYRICS:

VERSE 1
Only now I see
Only now I know the truth
Forbidden for so long to know the reason why
Heartfelt was my plea to take away the pain I felt inside
Trying for so long to understand the reason why

PRE CHORUS
I dont know why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain
And I dont understand why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain

CHORUS
Time to, to take a bow now
Show me this person
That youve become before me
Im not willing or able
I walk away
Im not willing to stay

VERSE 2
So sure I knew the way
So certain that I cant deny
Of everything I knew
Of everything that once was mine
My heart has fell into an empty space I cannot see
Been trying for so long to understand the reason why

PRE CHORUS
I dont know why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain
And I dont understand why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain

CHORUS x2
Time to, to take a bow now
Show me this person
That youve become before me
Im not willing or able
I walk away
Im not willing to stay
No, no, not willing to stay...

Ridsect "Newspaper" TVC Television Advertisement



Ridsect 'Newspaper' Television Commercial. Music composed and produced by Jon Brooks. Mosquitoes (Culex and Aedes)

Equiped with a dual nozzle spray cap that gives a wider coverage area for effective mosquitoes protection. Ridsect kills mosquitoes effectively.

Jon Brooks specialises in Music Production for Film, Television, Artists and Advertising.

In the mid 1970s, Ridsect was one of the pioneer insecticides that developed into an aerosol spray can and widely used by residents living in the rural areas. When urbanization took place in Malaysia in the 80s, Ridsect aerosol spray migrated along with the rural residents to the urban centres. In the late 80s, Ridsect overtook the urban aerosol brands to become the market leader in aerosol insecticides. Today, Ridsect is still the dominant market leader in aerosol insecticides with nearly half of the market shares.

The success of Ridsect in the aerosol segment encouraged the brand to expand its equity to other segments like mosquito coils, mats and liquid vaporizers. By 2004, Ridsect became the leading total insecticide brand in Malaysia up till today. In 2011, Ridsect was acquired by S.C. Johnson & Son.
