Within a short time, he had managed to become a "first call" bassist at Sunset Sound (Hollywood, CA). Then Joe Jeffries went on to assist with the Recording Arts department at Full Sail University (Winter Park, FL). With a master's degree in Music Business, Joe Jeffries is an alumnus of Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA), and continues to pursue his music endeavors.Artist Statement – Music has been in my blood since birth, as both my father and grandfather were professional singer-songwriters. I believe that my passion started watching both of my parents as they would casually sing all the time! Music was my life; I just was not sure of the path that I was going to take. I have been fortunate having the experience of performing for a United States president and an audience of approximately two million.

My musical approach is like how a painter may approach a blank canvas. I am always in search of the right combination of foreground, middle ground, and background. It becomes a delicate balance between a varied palette that derives from my psyche and a fictitious element that pushes ever so slightly outside of reality. It is often a ride that requires both a seat belt and a helmet, but oh so enjoyable.

I find that being a bassist fits who I am as a person. I am always evaluating the vibe, ready to adapt to changes at a moment's notice, yet keeping everything grounded and in sync. Still, I love playing bass as a lead instrument where I can put the audience at the edge of their seat. The melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic content (in my head) is developed from a deep understanding of all that surrounds me.

Today, I am stretching the boundaries within music technology about the speed of composition, production, and distribution. For me, tying music and technology together is simply natural.
