I am Jarrod Ajhar, known as Jarhead in creative circles, a polymath artist flourishing amidst the vibrant energy of Brooklyn. My creative essence converges at the intersection of music production, entrepreneurial acumen, visual artistry, and engineering finesse. Through this intricate fusion of disciplines, I weave tapestries of artistry that defy convention. Explore the digital gallery of my website to witness the culmination of my personal endeavors and collaborative ventures, each project a testament to my boundless creative spirit.

I'm continually seeking new creative minds to join me on artistic journeys, so don't hesitate to reach out and connect!

My repertoire spans a vast array of skills: from the intricacies of music production, engineering, mixing, and mastering to the nuances of music theory and business savvy. I'm adept at crafting captivating music videos, constructing and inventing musical instruments, and exploring the realms of 3D printing and CNC manufacturing. My talents extend to the realms of mask and jewelry making, arranging for string quartets, and a mastery of numerous instruments including guitar, synth, banjo, mandolin, and more.

In addition to my musical endeavors, I dabble in the realms of 3D modeling for both practical problem-solving and the creation of wearable art. Graphic design, photography, and even the whimsy of circuit bending find their place in my creative arsenal. I'm also a skilled painter, sculptor, and programmer, adept at conjuring up mesmerizing visuals and manipulating data with finesse. Oh, and did I mention I have a knack for vegan baking?

When I'm not immersed in my solo projects, you can find me performing with three distinct bands: fronting Such A Pretty Face, contributing synth and mandolin prowess to It Takes Dedication, and lending my vocals to an as-yet-unnamed musical endeavor.

In collaboration with my friend and artistic partner Clifton Marien, I've embarked on an entrepreneurial venture within the creative realm, co-founding a boutique instrument and effects pedal company under the umbrella of Spectre. Our vision is to meld innovation with musicality, pushing the boundaries of sonic exploration.

Currently, our workshop buzzes with excitement as we craft blueprints for groundbreaking projects. Among them, we're dreaming up a Tape Delay Violin, a Selective EQ Synthesizer, and a Stereo Magnetic Resonance Guitar, each designed to evoke new dimensions of sound and expression. Additionally, we're concocting a diverse array of effects pedals and rack mount units, each meticulously engineered to inspire and captivate musicians and audio enthusiasts alike.

In our workshop, we're infusing vintage technology with avant-garde concepts, forging a path where tradition meets innovation. Our mission is to reimagine the possibilities of sound by blending classic craftsmanship with fresh perspectives, birthing creations that resonate with both nostalgia and futurism.
