Creative music studio HiFi Project has brought on Tarjas White as executive producer out of its Los Angeles studio. White brings over a decade of experience as a music producer, with a comprehensive background in music production spanning advertising and entertainment. Having cultivated a network across some of the world’s biggest brands, advertising agencies and media channels, he will spearhead bicoastal growth for HiFi Project.
With a diversified background across all sides of the music marketing process, White has held roles at shops including Audio Network and Droga5’s Second Child, with expertise spanning production, composition, and business development. White’s contributions have been featured in campaigns for brands such as BMW, Pepsi, KFC, META, NBA, and LifeWTR.
HiFi Project CEO Jack Bradley said, “This is an exciting inflection point for HiFi Project as we look into the next chapter of our company growth, with an eye towards collaboration and innovation. Tarjas not only has a deep understanding of our industry, but he is an impassioned music producer who brings a unique creative perspective to all of his artist collaborations.”
White noted, “While both the advertising and music industries have decentralized, I’ve been fortunate to cultivate an extensive network in Los Angeles and it’s exciting to return to lead HiFi’s talented team of artists and serve as a creative resource for clients.”
Chicago native White attended Columbia College Chicago where he concentrated in music business and marketing. After Columbia, he relocated to Atlanta, then Los Angeles, where he worked in music production and songwriting for various artists.
