JOE JEFFRIES…
Music has flowed through my veins since birth, as my father and grandfather were professional singer-songwriters. My parents would sing all the time, and through them, I first discovered my passion for music. Music has been an integral part of my life, and I have been fortunate enough to perform for a US president and an audience of approximately two million people.
My approach to creating music resembles that of a painter approaching a blank canvas. I always strive to balance a composition’s foreground, middle ground, and background elements perfectly. Achieving this balance is a delicate process using a varied palette of sounds obtained from my psyche and a touch of fiction that goes slightly beyond reality. It is often a wild ride that requires a seatbelt and a helmet, but it is always enjoyable.
As a multi-instrumentalist, being a bassist fits my personality best. I am constantly evaluating the overall vibe of the music, ready to adapt to changes at a moment’s notice while keeping everything grounded and in sync. Although I enjoy playing bass as a supporting instrument, I also love the opportunity to showcase it as a lead instrument, where I can captivate the audience. My melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic content derives from a deep understanding of everything surrounding me.
When it comes to music technology, I naturally tie music and technology together to push the boundaries of composition, production, and distribution.
