Jared Gutstadt is a mogul—he founded the creative agency Jingle Punks in the late 2000s and dove into podcasts when he launched Audio Up in 2020. His ability to find the perfect song comes down to his keen knowledge of how pop works, and he’s flaunted it on a wide variety of cuts he’s co-written, including the slinky Elle King/Nile Rodgers collab “Honky Tonk Disco Nights” and the peppy Machine Gun Kelly/Kellin Quinn duet “love race”.
