Jared Lee Gosselin (born June 23, 1981) is an American record producer from Detroit, Michigan, United States. Gosselin got his start in the entertainment industry when the city was at its hip-hop height. Gosselin produced tracks for former Eminem affiliate, the late Proof of D12. Through that relationship, Gosselin met and worked with a number of Michigan hip-hop artists before turning his sights to the west coast. After a chance meeting with actor/director Forest Whitaker, Gosselin began to contribute music to a number of films, soundtracks, and more. He was then introduced to Macy Gray and officially moved to Los Angeles to help Gray work on her album in 2003. He has since contributed music to artists such as Gray, JoJo, The PussyCat Dolls, Christina Millian, Kane Brown, Swae Lee, Ghostface Killah, Neon Trees, the Netflix series, Carmen Sandiego and a number of high-profile brands including Go Pro, ESPN X Games, and Under Armour.

Gosselin's abilities as a producer and engineer have led him to collaborate with notable artists including India Arie, Macy Gray, Young Jeezy, Keyshia Cole, Nicole Scherzinger (lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls), Floetry, Cheri Dennis, Game, Proof, Obie Trice, and Corinne Bailey Rae, among others. He also contributed to the soundtrack of the film "De Ja Vu" starring Denzel Washington and received a Grammy nomination in 2006 for his work on India Arie's album "Testimony: Vol.1, Life & Relationships."
