Early life and education

Brian Tarquin was born in New York City on December 2, 1965. He is the son of Albanian American abstract artist Pema Browne and Irish American disc jockey/literary agent Perry Joseph Browne. Tarquin grew up on the upper east side in the apartment building named Park Lane Towers that later beaome the backdrop on the weekly opener for the popular 1970's sitcom, "The Jeffersons".[10] He attended the Trinity School and Saint David's School (New York City). He studied music composition at the Mannes College of Music and attended SUNY New Paltz in the mid-1980s. After college Tarquin attended the defunct Center for Media Arts in the Chelsea district to study audio engineering and music production. Tarquin spent a short stint in the Army ROTC during his time in college, doing basic training in Fort Knox, TN.[11][7][1]

Professional career

Early career

After audio production school Tarquin worked as an assistant engineer for New York's Electric Lady Studios and then at Far & Away Studios, owned by Geoff Gray in Goshen, New York. The studio was in a 200-year-old barn with a huge old fireplace and cobwebbed wooden slatted walls. Geoff was a mentor and became a lifelong friend of Tarquin. After about a year Brian went to work as an assistant engineer [12] and sales rep for Look & Company, a 5th Avenue jingle house in the Flatiron district. This was the next stage of his career where he discovered music production libraries and started to compose for them.

This propelled Brian to move to California as he states in his book, Survival Guide for Music Composers (Hal Leonard Publishing),[13] "Los Angeles offered me what I could not get in New York, the accessibility to the music industry and as it turned out film and television production companies who needed music." Upon arriving in L.A., he started working at the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather on Wilshire Blvd. by the La Brea tar pits producing music for Barbie commercials.[14] Brian then worked as an assistant engineer at Powerhouse Studios in the San Fernando Valley, while at night performing at The Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood), The Whisky a Go Go on Sunset, and The Baked Potato in Studio City. Tarquin went on to work at various record labels as Restless Records and Virgin Records in radio promotion and finance. He was living in Hollywood at the time, at the famous historical building 1764 N. Sycamore between Franklin and Hollywood Blvd. in Jim Morrison's old apartment. Morrison used the apartment to escape from his Hollywood Hills home from the groupies to write poetry. The building as a whole was a Rock N Roll historic monument reeking of the 1960s, where bands like The Rolling Stones and Paul Revere & The Raiders rented apartments. By 1994 Tarquin made the big switch from rock fusion to contemporary jazz instrumental after being inspired by the Acid Jazz movement from London in the mid-'90s.[15]

Composer

In 1991 Tarquin started to compose music for the production company James & Astor in New York City. Subsequently, Tarquin's music was used for the 1992 and 1994 Winter Olympics on CBS television. During this time, Brian recorded the track "Hollywood Shuffle" which was used on the popular show, Beverly Hills, 90210. He recalls, "I remember seeing my music used for the first time on that show, what a rush, they played it loads of times, it must of ran morning noon and night for the promos." He went on to compose for Marc Ferrari's production company called Red Engine Music, later to become MasterSource Music, getting various placements on television and film projects. In 1994 Tarquin's song "What It Is", which would later appear on his debut solo album "Ghost Dance", was used on the popular Spelling TV show Models Inc. In 1997 in partnership with programmer/keyboardist Chris Ingram, he delved into rock electronica music and wrote the theme music for MTV's Road Rules for Seasons 7 & 8 along with many of the shows cues. He had a long relationship with Bunim/Murray Productions composing music for "Real World" and the original series "Making the Band" airing on ABC-TV in 2000. For ten years Tarquin composed for All My Children working with music supervisor Terry Walker resulting in receiving two Television Academy Emmy Awards for his work on the show and 6 nominations. In 2000 he composed for Paramount's show "Resurrection Blvd." the dramatic series which aired on Showtime. Tarquin composed the opening music and various score for the 2002 film "The First $20 Million Is Always the Hardest" directed by Mick Jackson. In 2019 Tarquin released Soundtracks I & II [16] on his label BHP Music-Guitar Trax Records [17] showcasing the musical highlights of his career in film and television.[4]

Tarquin has composed many successful projects for production music libraries as First Com, Killer Music, MasterSource, Megatrax, 5th Floor Music, Sonoton and APM. He has provided musical scores for the films The Watcher (Keanu Reeves), Desert Heat (Jean-Claude Van Damme), The Sender (R. Lee Ermey), and National Lampoon's Repli-Kate (Ali Landry) and Chill Factor (Cuba Gooding Jr.) as well as scoring for television in episodes of 24, Alias, America's Next Top Model, Beverly Hills 90210, Cheers, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Extra, The Watcher, Friends, Grey's Anatomy, ABC's Making the Band, Malcolm in the Middle, Melrose Place, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, TMZ on TV, and Sex and the City.

In 2006 Tarquin launched his own record label, BHP Music/Guitar Trax, and released personal projects and a series of Guitar Masters compilations.

In 2012 he founded TV Film Trax, a music production catalog which by 2016—when it was sold to a private investor—included more than 2,000 songs by a variety of composers for television, and from which editors, music supervisors, producers, or directors can easily access tracks for their productions.[24][25][26]

In 2020 Tarquin signed an exclusive worldwide distribution deal with APM [27] and Sonoton Music for film and television representation for his catalog 1st Choice Music [12] composing of many famous guitarists.

Guitarist and performer

Smooth Jazz 1990s

In 1995 Tarquin entered into a recording deal with the Canadian label, Jazz Inspiration distributed by MCA. In 1996 his debut album "Ghost Dance" [7] was released spurring Tarquin to support the album by touring with acts like Chuck Loeb & Dave Koz in the California Jazz Festival market.

In 1997 Tarquin was signed to a three-record deal with the New York acid jazz label Instinct Records. His first success in the market was the track "Arrow of Truth", which appeared on the release "This Is Acid Jazz Vol. 2” charting Top 20 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz charts.

The following year he was flown to London to record and work with acid jazz producer Ernie McKone for his album Last Kiss Goodbye,[28] It garnered several hits at smooth jazz radio, "One Arabian Knight", "Freeway Jam" (Jeff Beck Cover), "Midnight Blue" and "57th Street". The album charted #4 at the R&R and Gavin charts. Tarquin's follow up album was the 1999 release Soft Touch which again paired him up with Ernie McKone in London at Boogie Back Studios. The album produced the smooth jazz radio hits "Darlin Darlin Baby" (O'Jay's cover), Tangled Web, and the vocal song "Rainfall". Soft Touch would chart #9 on the R&R and Gavin charts. His final album with Instinct Records was the 2001 release High Life.[29] which was produced by Chris Ingram recorded in New York and Los Angeles.

The band dismantled, but after a long hiatus in 2018 Tarquin revived Asphalt Jungle as solo project and released an experimental album of heavy metal dubstep with Crazy Train.

During the pandemic lock down in 2020, Tarquin delved into the Lofi Jazz genre with his alter ego Asphalt Jungle. Persuaded by Rod Linnum aka "LoFi Rod", a fan of Brian's early Smooth Jazz releases, Tarquin successfully entered into the new format releasing a host of new singles through DashGo distribution. Brian states, "Lofi really reminds me of the Acid Jazz days when we were combining hip hop grooves with jazz progressions and overtones; adding cool horn riffs with clean guitar octaves ala Wes Montgomery." Singles as "Magna Fi", Sunshine in Her Eyes", "Acid Test" are popular among Spotify Studybeat lists.

Rock Instrumental 2008-Present

In 2008 Tarquin released his first rock instrumental solo album called "Fretwork" featuring Steve Morse, Billy Sheehan, Frank Gambale, Max Middleton, Randy Coven, Will Ray, Andy Timmons, Hal Lindes and Chuck Loeb. It was dedicated to the 911 victims and Friends of Firefighters organization. The following year he released "El Becko: A Jeff Beck Salute" [37] and "Brian Tarquin Collection" [38] for nuGroove Records. Brian, then, developed the guitar series "Brian Tarquin & Heavy Friends" [39] which began with the 2014 release of "Guitars for Wounded Warriors" [40] on Cleopatra Records. The album featured guest appearances by Billy Sheehan, Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal, Reb Beach, Chris Poland, Gary Hoey, Alex De Rosso, Hal Lindes, Chuck Loeb and Steve Morse. This was benefit album raising awareness for veterans and driving donations to the Fisher House Foundation.

The label releases the Guitar Master Series featuring legends: Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Allan Holdsworth and Zakk Wylde. Initially they were distributed by Redeye distribution for physical releases, but as physical product became less popular the label exclusively went to digital distribution by IODA/The Orchard, Symphonic and Dashgo.

He eventually moved on to compose, engineer and produce the releases hiring guest artists to be featured on each track. As of 2023 the label contained 94 releases including music videos.

Simultaneously Tarquin built Jungle Room Studios where he records many of the releases for his record label.
