Jared Faber

Jared Faber (also known as J-Radical) is an American musician, composer, and producer who works primarily in television and film. He composed the theme songs for Oobi, As Told by Ginger, Emily's Reasons Why Not, and Suburgatory. He has won multiple Grammy Awards and been nominated for an Emmy Award.

Career Faber was raised in New York City, where he attended High School of Performing Arts, and later continued his music education at Berklee College of Music, studying jazz arranging and composition. He is half of the production team Urban Legend, with partner Kool Kojak, and founded the label "Blind Lemon Music". Faber resides and is established working in Los Angeles.

Faber's first professional credits are the soundtracks for the adventure educational PC video games The Pink Panther: Passport to Peril and The Pink Panther: Hokus Pokus Pink, with lyrics by Emily Kapnek, who also wrote the scripts for both video games and would go on to frequently collaborate with him on their work in television.

Faber composed the music for the ABC series Emily's Reasons Why Not starring Heather Graham. In addition to the episodic scoring, Faber co-wrote the theme song with series creator Kapnek, which was performed by R&B singer Macy Gray. Faber and Kapnek collaborated again for Kapnek's next ABC series Suburgatory, for which they wrote the theme song "Pleasant Nightmare", performed by Alih Jey.

Faber's forays into Latin music have led to him scoring the Fox pilot “Ernesto” starring Wilmer Valderrama, which had a decidedly Mexican style as well as collaborating with Valderrama and Rosario Dawson on the viral web series, "Voto Latino".

Faber contributed music to the film The Long Shots starring Ice Cube, featuring its song Faber co-wrote and produced, performed by Chris Pierce and Sy Smith.
