Career
In 2009, after changing careers from finance to music, Jeff garnered an internship at EastWest Studios, formerly United/Western Recorders, where artists such as Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys once recorded. When Jeff's internship expired he was asked to join the staff as an assistant musical engineer.
In 2012, Jeff became the engineer for recording artist Frank Ocean when he arrived at EastWest Studios to record a track for his debut album, Channel Orange. Jeff developed a working relationship with Ocean and was offered the opportunity to freelance full-time on the remainder of the project. Channel Orange was a critical success, earning Jeff a 2013 Grammy for Best Urban Contemporary Album, as well as a nomination for Album of the Year. The album also includes the Record Of The Year-nominated track "Thinkin Bout You" a song that Jeff mixed.
Jeff continued to work with Frank Ocean from 2012 to 2016 on his follow up album Blonde. Jeff has also worked with such notable artists such as Akon, Skylar Grey, Nick Jonas, Pernille Rosendahl and Kate Nash, whose album Made of Bricks hit #1 on the UK pop charts in 2007.
