In 2003 and 2005, he won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition for a Drama Series and also received Emmy nominations in 2001, 2002 and 2004. \nHe wrote the theme music for MTV's Road Rules, as well as producing music for many other TV shows such as America's Next Top Model, ABC's Making The Band, Extra, Alias and the Keanu Reeves film The Watcher (see complete list of credits below). \nIn 1997, the release of This is Acid Jazz, Vol.2 on Instinct Records, which made the Billboard Top 20 Chart, was followed by several solo jazz records Ghost Dance, Last Kiss Goodbye, Soft Touch and High Life, which charted Top 10 on NAC radio on R\u0026amp;R Charts in the mid 1990s. \n Asphalt Jungle\nIn 2000, he switched gears and, with Chris Ingram, formed the rock/electronica band Asphalt Jungle, whose debut CD Electro Ave received critical acclaim. It incorporated funky big beats with metallic percussive guitar riffs and featured the MTV Road Rules theme \"Witchcraft\". It also contained the track \"Tinsel Town\" which was heard by millions of Making The Band viewers. The second release, Enjoy This Trip, successfully charted top 30 on the CMJ charts. The album also includes the chill-out track \"Tekken\", which first debuted in 1999 as MTV's Road Rules theme song on one of their luxurious seasons. \n BHP Music\nIn 2006, Tarquin opened his own boutique record label BHP Music, specializing in instrumental guitar music. That same year, he released DJ Soul Slinger's Classics, Part 1 \u0026amp; Asphalt Jungle's 3rd installment entitled Junglization, which charted #19 on the CMJ Charts. \nIn 2007, BHP Music included the acclaimed guitar compilation Guitar Masters, Vol.1, produced and compiled by Tarquin and featuring guitar legends Jeff Beck, Joe Satriani, Zakk Wylde, Stanley Clarke, Billy Sheehan and many others. The compilation received rave reviews from the editors-in-chief of Guitar Player Magazine and Vintage Guitar magazine, who both contributed the liner notes for the compilation. The label then released Bob Marley Remixed, which explored Marley territory with dance grooves intertwined with original Marley vocals and was praised by the editor-in-chief of Mix magazine. Tarquin also started his own column (Guitar Studio) in Premiere Guitar Magazine. \n TV/Film Credits\n TV: \nAll My Children, \nA Current Affair, \nAccess Hollywood, \nAlias, \nAmerica's Next Top Model, \nAs The World Turns, \nBones, \nChannel News at 11, \nCharmed, \nCheers, \nCSI - New York \u0026amp;
