Dean Harada

Born and raised in Hawaii, Dean studied with MacArthur Fellow Ran Blake at the New England Conservatory. Collaborating with Grammy winner Oswaldo Golijov set his path toward the compositional life. In Los Angeles, his music has underscored film, broadcast television and theater.

In parallel he operated a series of ventures in post-production, hospitality, retail and real estate spaces.

Dean's career reflects a lifelong interest in modes of conversive, narrative, and figurative work. His process reconciles his loves: collaboration and solitude, structure and nonlinear thinking, technology and the human touch.
