Hallwood Media’s Jacobson was the long-time President of Geffen Records before exiting the UMG label in 2019 and launching Hallwood Media in 2020.

Hallwood Media started out as a producer management division under Geffen Records in 2013. Jacobson spun out the unit in 2020 when he exited the company.

Jacobson is known for representing producers and songwriters Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Bruno Mars, Harry Styles), Emile Haynie (Lana Del Rey, Eminem) and Brendan O’Brien (Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam).

The company says it is focused on overseeing producers and engineers, artist management, and negotiating significant record-label contracts. The company’s catalog sales division represents clients including David Stewart, wil.i.am, and more.
