Jared Hassan Foles is a NYC based multimedia producer/songwriter & composer, film/voice actor and editor, AV engineer and recording/mix engineer and stage performer (instrumentalist & theater) and guitarist. He has founded and produced 3 seminal NYC black punk bands: Gamma Phi Acme, Shrine for the Black Madonna (co-produced with Brian Tate, brother of the late composer and music critic Greg Tate), and The Sweet Fuzzy Itsy Bitsy. He is the owner of World Eater Recordings, NYC-a recording studio & post production house built and operated since 2000 in Bed Stuy Brooklyn, NY, as well as its publishing arm, World Eater Music (ASCAP), and a division for live event production & support known as World Eater Recordings Presents. While many of his school mates and contemporaries in Bed Stuy were laying the foundations of Hip Hop (he attended junior high with the likes of DJ Maseo of De La Soul, and SWV, and attended Brooklyn Tech HS with MC Milk of Audio Two), Jared wrote, recorded, and performed and produced live shows with those who would later become the foundational members of Afropunk. He would later work with James Spooner on the initial audio editing of the Afropunk documentary, as well as recording literally hundreds of NYC rock, hardcore punk & metal bands. Beginning in 1992, Jared formed a group known as GAMMA PHI ACME-a group of young, NYHC and Hip Hop obsessed young African American men, releasing a demo called "First Five", and 2 independent EP's under the group's own label "Gamma Phi Acme Productions", that showcased their eclectic mix of poetic esoteric-ness, mixed with the realities of a NYC that encompassed the rage and determinations of both a burgeoning combined hardcore punk & hip hop scene. Their 30th anniversary retrospective was released in July 2023 called "30 Years Beyond The Future", featuring works from all three previous releases on the World Eater Recordings label-currently available on Bandcamp.com and on all streaming platforms. In 2000, Jared teamed up with Brian Tate-vocalist, producer and younger brother to Greg Tate-culture writer, composer, band leader and music critic for NYC's The Village Voice. The two began writing and recording together, laying the foundation of the band Shrine for the Black Madonna. In early 2001 they would release "Time Will Make You Mine", a 5 song EP on Jared's World Eater Recordings label. In 2007 the performed for the first time at NYC's Lincoln Center amphitheater, and later that year released a double album as their introductory full length project-the albums Paradise and Inferno, with cover art donating by artist Wangechi Motu on the Seeds & Bones record label. On January 27th 2024, Jared and Shrine for the Black Madonna performed for the second time at Lincoln Center, opening for Greg Tate's (RIP) Burnt Sugar Arkestra's 25th anniversary performance.…Jared Hassan Foles is a NYC based multimedia producer/songwriter & composer, film/voice actor and editor, AV engineer and recording/mix engineer and stage performer (instrumentalist & theater) and guitarist.
