I am so happy Jared Faber decided to move to LA from his native New York in 1999 when a TV composing opportunity presented itself. Faber had been writing music for Nickelodeonin New York, but LA called in the form of an opportunity to compose for the Emmy- nominated Nick series, As told by Ginger. He answered that call and moved to LaLa Land, kicking off a career that has garnered Grammy and Emmy nominationsand awards, a Latin Grammy, and a long list of music for TV and films – plus his own music, plus producing award winning records for artists in LA and Cuba. But it was cartoons that got him started and I got to talk with him about that and the many other things he has done in his career.
