Jeff Pettit

Though I come from an instrumentalist/ band background (6 years touring the US with legendary 90's NY band Yolk) , and also have an academic/ jazz background (BFA Purchase Conservatory),

I have done just about every job you can do in the recording studio

My flexibility and diverse skill set make me useful in many capacities :

Engineer, Producer, Composer/Content Creator, instrumentalist, teacher/coach, Film Scoring/Music for Media, broadcast, studio owner.

I prefer to be creative in every job I take on, but I am learning that sometimes the job requires quiet competence.

I pride myself on being easy to work with and a fun hang, but also know when to be unobtrusive while people are doing their job in close proximity (when I'm not THE GUY.)

I take my work seriously, but am unpretentious.

I am eager to learn and am able to take criticism with out being defensive.

I have a deep passion for diverse music and its history.

I am always eager to find music I haven't heard and love critically listening to music I have loved in the past to dissect its parts and structure (production/form/harmony).

Some of my musical heroes include John Coltrane, Rick Rubin, Daniel Lanois, and Andy Partridge.
