Jeff Miyahara (born February 4, 1977) is a Japanese-Korean record producer and songwriter raised in Los Angeles, today based in Tokyo, Japan.

Since moving to Japan in 1999 to begin his career in the music industry, he has worked with many Japanese artists such as JUJU, Kana Nishino, Namie Amuro, TVXQ, Weather Girls, as well as international artists like Boyz II Men, Girls' Generation, and Timbaland. He has accrued many Oricon rated No. #1 Digital Download hits, including "Kimi No Subete Ni" by Spontania ft. JUJU and JASMINE's "sad to say". He was awarded several Gold Disc Awards by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in 2005, 2008, 2009, and was titled Nikkei Entertainment's "Hitmaker of the Year" in 2010. He has sold over 38 million units to date.

In 2009, Miyahara signed a deal with UM360 (Universal Music 360, the management division of Universal Music Japan) after the success of his 2008 breakout hit "Kiminosubeteni", a hip-pop track he produced for Spontania featuring JUJU, which sold over 5 million digital downloads. In this year alone he was involved in the release of over 50 CDs. He currently has projects in the works with artists in the United States, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Australia, while continuing his work in Japan.

Miyahara has cited his multi-cultural and multi-lingual background (LA-raised, half Korean, half Japanese) as the foundation on which his approach to songwriting and production is conceived.

He was born in Los Angeles, California, United States. During his teenage years Miyahara began playing guitar and was impressed both by heavy metal and the burgeoning MTV culture of mainstream music in the 1980s.
