“I got my start at the famed EastWest Studios in Hollywood California, (formerly United/Western Recorders) where artists such as Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys once recorded. I worked with countless top artists during my tenure at EastWest and rose through the ranks to become one of their main engineers."
In 2011, Jeff left EastWest Studios to engineer Frank Ocean's channel ORANGE. The Album was a critical success, earning him a 2012 Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, as well as nominations for Album of the Year and Record of the Year. The album includes the Platinum selling single 'Thinkin' Bout You' which was his first platinum selling mix. Jeff would continue as Frank Oceans engineer during the recording of his follow up album Blonde.
After the release of Blonde, Jeff transitioned to focusing on mixing and has since worked with many other notable artists such as Doja Cat, JOJI, The Neighborhood, Kali Uchis, Rico Nasty, Snow Aalegra, Omar Apollo, Vance Joy and many more.
In 2021 Jeff returned home to EastWest studios as a permanent resident mixer in Studio 4.
