Who is Julian Gingell?

Julian Gingell, known as Jules, is a British songwriter and record producer, best known for his partnership with fellow writer and producer Barry Stone under the name Jewels and Stone.

Gingell moved to London to work with Stock Aitken Waterman, just as the record-producing trio began to establish their reputation for releasing 1980s pop music, from artists such as Bananarama, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Rick Astley.

After the three founding members of Stock Aitken Waterman's partnership fell apart, Gingell spent some time working for Mike Stock and Matt Aitken, who had continued as a duo.

In 1999, he set up his own production business with long-time friend and co-producer Barry Stone. They called the company Jewels and Stone.

As well as remixing hits such as Sophie Ellis Bextor's "Murder on the Dancefloor", Boyzone's "No Matter What" and S Club 7's "Don't Stop Movin'", Jewels and Stone are credited with writing and producing the Adam Rickitt hit "I Breathe Again", which reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart in 1999, the S Club Juniors single "Automatic High", which reached number 2 in the same chart and Rachel Stevens' "I Said Never Again".
