Known for producing hit TV shows and films like Operation Repo (183 episodes), Marmaduke (starring Emma Stone and Luke Wilson), and CBS’s upcoming series Einstein, Tarric now steps back into the spotlight—not behind the camera, but behind the mic. His latest single “Ride On” is out now, and it’s a gripping, no-frills anthem for anyone who’s been knocked down and chosen to get back up.
Built around stripped-down instrumentation and emotionally charged lyrics, “Ride On” doesn’t sugarcoat struggle. It leans into it. The song opens in a free fall—“The odds are all against me now / My foundation crumbles”—and climbs toward a defiant refrain that’s less motivational slogan than war chant: Ride on. Ride on. There’s no resolution offered, only the momentum of survival.
A longtime writer, multi-instrumentalist, and independent artist, Tarric draws from his Midwest roots and early love for bands like The Smiths and Depeche Mode. That blend of emotional vulnerability and sharp melodic instincts helped his debut single “I Had It Wrong” climb the alt radio charts and his music videos land on MTV. But “Ride On” reveals a grittier, more battle-tested version of the artist—a storyteller who’s lived through enough failures to make his victories earned.
While many musicians dabble in film, Tarric lives in both worlds. He currently serves as producer on CBS’s Einstein, expected to debut this fall. His unique position in Hollywood—having built TV franchises and produced major features—gives him a cinematic edge in both his songwriting and production. But it’s his refusal to sugarcoat pain that makes this new release hit harder than any fiction.
