Biography
Jared Faber (also know as J-Radical) is a multi instrumentalist and one of the most diverse composers/music producers working in Los Angeles. A native New Yorker and alumnus of New York's famed High School of Performing Arts, Jared took an interest in music from an early age, immersing himself in the New York music scene, while studying and playing with the best that the city had to offer. After high school he continued his music education at Berklee College of music, studying jazz arranging and composition.

Since then Jared has done music for film, television, records, theatre and even a few CD-Rom games. He was nominated for an Emmy award for his work on "Clifford's Puppy Days" and has topped the CMJ world charts with his independent release "Tranquilidad Cubana" produced under the artist name "Urban Legend" (with partner Kool Kojak). Additionally he has written and produced for a range of artists from Macy Gray to Leann Rimes.

Jared is at equally at home with Urban/Hip Hop doing the music for such TV shows as "Being Bobby Brown" or Ice Cube's "Friday the Animated Series" as he is with the several hit children's programs he's scored, which include Nickelodeon's "As Told by Ginger", Discovery Kids' "Kenny The Shark" and Scholastic's "Clifford's Puppy Days".

Segueing into network TV, Jared composed music for the ABC show "Emily's Reasons Why Not" starring Heather Grahm. In addition to the episodic scoring, Jared Co-wrote the theme song with frequent collaborator Emily Kapnek, which was performed by Macy Gray.

His electronica tracks (under the moniker "J-Radical") have been featured on numerous compilations as well as in various TV shows and films including "Nip/Tuck" and 20th Century Fox's "Mission Without Permission".

Recently, Jared has been collaborating with Latin Grammy Nominee and host of MTV's "Indie 101" Martin Chan on tracks for EMI artist JD Natasha and Hip Hop/Reggaeton artist La Bruja.

Today, Jared divides his time between Los Angeles and New York, between song writing and scoring, between producing and performing, and in general, keeps typical "musician's hours." That said, please don't call him before 10 am, unless it's an emergency. Dig?
