Jarrad Hewett: The Voice of Disney and Best Selling Author

Even if you don’t know his name, you may recognize his voice. Edmond native, Jarrad Hewett, is an award-winning author and the voice of HGTV and Disney Channel. Though he’s experienced incredible success on this path, it’s not one he always imagined for himself.

“After graduating from Oklahoma City University, my intention was to attend entertainment law school,” Jarrad said. “But when I moved back to L.A., I got into voiceover acting and that’s kind of where it all started.”

The product of hard work and good relationships, Jarrad later landed a gig as the voice of White Castle. He continued to lend his voice to various projects, being featured on nearly every network in the nation. Among his most notable projects are narrating HGTV’s “Tiny House, Big Living” and Disney Channel commercials.

On Writing Best Sellers
But when a writers’ strike occurred in 2007, Jarrad devoted the 8-month stint to diversifying his work. And so he began his writing career. He is now the #1 Best Selling author of four books, including his latest USA Today Best Seller, “The Answer is Energy.”

Jarrad explained his motivation for exploring the metaphysical. “It was quite a transition coming from Oklahoma, a place where people are friendly and neighborly, to moving to L.A. and saying, ‘Oh, that’s not how the entire world works.’ So I began looking at how our beliefs and how we are raised impact our lives, and I am passionate about helping others embrace our sameness, and examine our differences. If we can learn how to support each other, we can get through life much easier.”

Zillow Gone Wild
Jarrad is currently writing and residing in Oklahoma. But even his home has made the news. Recently featured on ‘Zillow Gone Wild,’ his home is full of character and, he noted, for sale.

When asked about the unique nature of his home decor, Jarrad explained, “I was really excited to move back to Edmond and get to share time between Los Angeles for work. When my father became sick, I became his caretaker, and it required me spending much more time here in town. I found that art and design were two very therapeutic outlets. We all spend so much time in our homes, but how often do we allow them to actually be fun and expressive places to live? I know it turned some heads when my realtor gave the photos to Zillow Gone Wild, but ultimately, if you like art and fashion, even if it isn’t your taste, I think one could very much appreciate it.”
