SafeAuto "Do the Jingle" Contest Profile: Arnie Borowsky

by Chris Martin January 30, 2012 08:47 AM

When you click on the video entries in SafeAuto's "Do The Jingle" Contest, you get to enjoy a wide range of talent on display. Some competitors direct their efforts toward one or two skills, while others try to impress viewers with their wide range of abilities.

But if the "Do The Jingle" Contest were to be decided simply on the total number of different talents each entrant has, then Arnie Borowsky would probably win the competition going away.

Arnie hails from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. When you watch his video, you will be treated to a sample of his singing, guitar-playing, and songwriting abilities. But don't assume that Arnie is just a "three-trick pony." This man is blessed with so much more talent than that.

First of all, Arnie's vocal range extends far beyond singing. He can do Elvis impersonations. He can mimic the voice of the famed cartoon character Donald Duck. Arnie also can generate bird calls, cricket noises, and water-dropping sounds without the aid of props. In addition, Arnie's artistic abilities can be expressed in ways other than his music. He is an accomplished drawer, painter, and sculptor. He even excels in many areas of carpentry.

But Arnie is blessed with several skills that are not easily found in your average person (especially in one package). For example, Arnie knows sign language. He can skateboard, ride a horse, or drive a tractor or similar heavy machinery. If he wanted to, Arnie could easily find work in a vast array of occupations -- from mechanic to house painter to mascot.

And here's the piece de resistance: Arnie is one of the few people with double-jointed shoulder blades. Yes, that's right. Just imagine the possibilities.

Arnie Borowsky is a proud graduate of Charleston Southern University, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in speech and dramatic arts. As you may have guessed, Arnie was very active in the institution's theatre program while he was in school. But he has also called upon his acting talents in his post-college career, appearing in three TV commercials and a print advertisement. What's more, Arnie even landed a stand-in role in a major motion picture: as a German terrorist in Die Hard: With a Vengeance.

We wish that there were a way for Arnie Borowsky to showcase every single one of his talents in SafeAuto's Do The Jingle Contest. (Maybe the company can change the rules for next year's competition!) But you'll certainly be entertained by his video entry - so cast your vote for Arnie if you like what you see.

SafeAuto "Do the Jingle" Contest Profile: Chandra Henson

by Chris Martin January 19, 2012 11:17 AM

There are plenty of people in this country who enjoy music. Some of them even like to play an instrument or sing their favorite tunes. A few of them have so much talent that they are able to make their living in some sort of musical career. These are the ones who we commonly say were "born" to be musicians.

Chandra Henson was "born to sing." She has been singing for as long as she can remember. And that's why she has decided to test her crooning skills against many other singers and musicians in this year's SafeAuto "Do The Jingle" contest.

Henson is a Houston, Texas, native who says that she derives a great deal of joy from singing in her hometown. And her smooth, soulful voice undoubtedly has listeners jamming and humming along with her.

Henson says that she is very impressed by the Houston music scene, noting that it is incredibly diverse. This diversity is readily apparent when you consider some of the musical artists from over the years who hailed from Texas' biggest city. Naturally, there have been some memorable country and western acts who began their careers in the Houston area, such as Robert Earl Keen, Guy Clark, and Lyle Lovett. But Houston is also well-represented in the rap world thanks to the Geto Boys, DJ Screw, and Screwed Up Click. There's also an impressive blues history in the city, with names such as Lightnin Hopkins, Johnny Copeland, and Big Mama Thornton entertaining music lovers in Houston and around the world. Punk bands like Really Red, DRI, and The Degenerates made their mark on H-town as well; and names like Chris Whitley, Jana Hunter, and Jandek defied musical categorization while garnering devoted followers. Houston is also home to pop group Blue October and the three original members of Destiny's Child - including the most famous one, Beyonce Knowles.

Winning SafeAuto's "Do The Jingle" contest would certainly go a long way toward putting Henson on the map in the music world - both in Houston and across the nation. Plus, she readily admits that she could do a lot of good for her singing career with the first place prize money offered by SafeAuto. After all, $5,000 could help her pay for studio recording time, post-production mixing, and marketing campaigns.

Chandra Henson has a dream: to show the world her singing talents and love of music. You could help her fulfill that dream by voting for her in SafeAuto's "Do The Jingle" contest.
