Free Your Music

Do you have music you’re ready to bring to life?
 
I’d love to help. My goal is to bring my authentic self to your project, while getting out of the way so the music flows and you shine.

Whether it’s on stage, in studio, or for screen, I create with courage, warmth and competency. Working with me should feel easy and fun.

ABOUT

Jared Hamilton is a music producer, composer, and arranger – but before that, he was an obsessive music fan and student.  He remembers a busy night early on, when he played in a jazz quartet, a symphony orchestra, and a rock cover band, all within a few hours – “from tuxedo to ripped jeans in one evening,” he recalls. It was a defining moment to realize that his love of music thrived on diversity and variety.  

Since then, Jared has devoted himself to mastering multiple aspects of music creation, and to leveraging those skills to help others.  Integrating diverse influences with the more “homegrown” soul of his native central and southeast Texas, plus classical training and deep intuition, Jared brings many tools and a broad palette to each musical situation.

Over a nearly 20-year career, Jared has contributed music to hundreds of artist recordings, scores for film/video, and live arrangements.  His recorded productions have been streamed over 14 million times on Spotify, and his arrangements have been enjoyed in-person and virtually by hundreds of thousands.  

More importantly, he has earned the trust of dozens of past clients and colleagues, who continue to return. “When I do my job well, I fade into the background,” Jared observes. “The artist or client enjoys creating something authentic, and I enjoy helping them discover, refine, and amplify their own voice. Their success is my success.”

Jared is based just north of Atlanta, where he welcomes collaborators both on-site at his personal studio as well as remotely.

Working with Jared has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for me as an artist and songwriter. He is a key that unlocks a treasure chest of creativity! He listens and honors songs so well, yet always surprises me with his fresh, genius perspective, his vast knowledge of sound, and his musical experience. He can take your vision to a level you never thought possible. And to top it off, he’s one of the kindest and most humble dudes in the world.

Jared Hamilton is one of the most talented producers and musical arrangers I've ever worked with. He's worked on several projects for us at Orange, and every single time, his work is even better than we could have imagined. Not only is Jared extremely gifted, but he is also great to work with and always delivers an excellent product on time. I can't recommend him highly enough.

COLETTE TAYLOR

Executive Director of Programming, Orange



Jared is a highly versatile and skilled music creator, with the ability to see numerous possibilities, allow for abstract thinking, and then find concrete solutions to get things done.  He has high standards for quality and innovation, while always putting people first. … He’s earned a great deal of trust from the creative community around him.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing to complete a musical project, but perhaps struggling with where to begin... or how to finish.
