Meltzer Upped To COO At Hallwood Media

Hallwood Media is excited to announce the promotion of Tal Meltzer to Chief Operating Officer. In his newly expanded role, Meltzer, who most recently served as Senior Vice President, Head of A&R and Business Affairs, will oversee Hallwood Media’s operations and continued expansion, further evolving it into a fully integrated music powerhouse that champions artist development across multiple sectors.

Meltzer is based at Hallwood’s West Hollywood headquarters and reports to Hallwood Media CEO Neil Jacobson, who remarked, “Tal’s deep understanding of both the creative and operational sides of our business has been instrumental to our growth. His leadership and vision will drive our continued success as we innovate in the music industry.”

Since joining Hallwood Media in May 2022, Meltzer has been a key architect in building the company’s record label, distribution, and publishing divisions while laying the operational foundation to support them. Having previously spent a decade as a successful producer and songwriter before transitioning into A&R and business affairs, Meltzer brings a rare dual perspective to the position. His ability to craft innovative deals and build artist-first strategies, combined with his creative background, allows him to navigate the evolving music industry with a fresh, forward-thinking approach.

“I’m incredibly excited to take on this role and continue contributing to Hallwood’s future,” Meltzer said. “I’ll always be grateful to Neil for his unwavering belief in me and his mentorship throughout my career. Hallwood is a truly special place — an independent company that moves fast, adapts, and creates real opportunities for the world’s most talented musicians. I look forward to pushing boundaries and redefining what a modern music company can be.” [Photo credit: David Goldman]
