Zarian Hadley

I started playing piano at 5 years old, performing in talent shows. Teenage years I pursued a life of music, developing my producer chops, plus active in football and wrestling. My young adult years, developed the skills of recording and producing shows and producing artist records.

Then in 2003, I moved to Los Angeles and started working on several competitions reality shows like Hell's Kitchen, Contender, Bachelor Pad, Trading Spouses, Face Off and other shows alike, eventually as a camera operator..

The past 15 years, I have been working on a lot of community driven projects with a focus on telling untold Black Stories. Tedx South Central is a prime example.

Now I'm directing and producing two projects centered around the story of the Black Seminole's of Florida.

I am a cultural anthropologist with a lens, is how I like to coin myself.
