PORTLAND, USA // Chad North has been an Executive Producer at The Crystal Creative for nearly a decade. Originally from upstate New York, Chad’s music journey started as a fortuitous internship with Hans Zimmer, which then inspired him to pursue a career in music and media. Now a creative producer with 20+ years experience in music composition, publishing, music supervision, and business development, Chad has developed a passion for helping artists and brands succeed in new and innovative ways. Originating from an obsession with film and boundary-pushing music (a relic from his DJ years which will never subside), Chad has curated bespoke compositions and soundtracks for global brand campaigns, video game trailers, independent films, and award-winning motion picture advertising campaigns. Chad is a proud father of two (equally film-obsessed) children. When is not cheering on their own pursuits in the arts, he continues to play competitive soccer on a weekly basis and partakes in the limitless varieties of IPA’s and VHS nights in Portland’s vibrant and ever-changing beer & film culture.
