After completing high school, Jeff’s guitar skills landed him a gig touring and playing with the Tower of Power styled show band, Time Machine in venues throughout the U.S. After touring for 5 years, he wanted to increase his knowledge of music theory and guitar technique and enrolled in Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, California.

Shortly after completing his studies at MI, he landed a position as guitarist for Natalie Cole and for 5 years traveled the world playing numerous venues and live television performances. He had the distinct honor of performing with Natalie for the Nelson Mandela Freedom Fest at Wembley Arena in London, England. Playing before an audience of 70,000 music fans and broadcast

to 60 million people worldwide, they shared the stage with rock superstars Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, Sting, Stevie Wonder and Annie Lennox. It was during this part of his musical journey that Jeff became interested in the sonic aspects of live performances and recording shows.

By personal study and acquired hands on skill, Jeff became an expert FOH Engineer. His numerous credits with sound and live performance recording include national and international tours with America, Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo, Sheena Easton, Fleetwood Mac, Edgar Winter, Dave Mason, Poco, Peabo Bryson, David Gates & Bread and Otis Day and The Knights.

His ability to create sonic excitement for audiences propelled him to enter the world of studio engineering, mixing and producing. Notably, one of his early projects was co-engineering/co-mastering one of the first albums ever recorded with a computer, the highly successful Edgar Winter’s “Not A Kid Anymore.” Edgar and Jeff tracked, mixed and mastered the album using Sound Tools, the predecessor to the industry standard Pro Tools HD system of today.

Throughout the years, Jeff has continued to research and obtain the equipment that meets his sonic and technical standards for Worrell Music Production. With half a lifetime of gained knowledge and hands on experience, his love of music has inspired him to seek out new talent while continuing to serve the music and sonic needs of existing clients. “Today artists have unlimited possibilities in a studio. Incorporating the classic gear with the latest recording technology, engineers have unlimited opportunity today. As a producer/engineer, my goal is to enable artists to reach their ultimate in creativity and then, to surpass their own expectations!”
