Background and thoughts from Jeff:

I was born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania. I started playing piano at age 5 and then began playing guitar and writing songs when I was 10 years old.  Suffice it to say, there were many jam sessions at the Silverman household in those days… I can still remember seeing The Beatles' first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show and from that point on, I knew music was going to be my life-long passion.  

As I started to write, recording my songs became as important to me as actually performing. I began recording with two cassette recorders and overdubbing from one to the other – the only concept that I had and that my allowance would accommodate at that age!

As I progressed, the cassette recorders gave way to the 2/4/8/16 track analog/digital machines and then eventually on to a state of the art 2 inch analog multi-track recorder in a professional recording studio facility. This same progression happened with digital technology as well. I started with the first Sound Designer 2-track editor and am now using the most current Pro Tools HD3 multi-tack Digital Audio Workstation along with a plethora of plug-ins and software.

During my teens and early 20s I played with local bands touring the U.S.  In 1976 I decided to move to Los Angeles, California. Within months I landed a gig as Rick Springfield’s lead guitarist and background vocalist. While touring with Rick, my original songs were heard by Carman Productions (Springfield’s management and production company at that time). Soon after, they signed me to an artist/production contract to record, perform and co-produce my originals at Sound City Studios with Bill Drescher, Rick’s Engineer and Co-Producer.

Shortly after doing my first CD project with Bill, I began engineering and producing my own albums. Because I had my own studio I had the creative freedom to record, write and produce my own songs whenever the inspiration hit me.  Soon, my recording and songwriting started to get so much industry attention, I began producing and co-writing for many established and Indie artists in California as well as worldwide. This also led to a staff writer position with Stone Diamond Music, Motown’s Publishing Company in California.

In 2006 I opened Palette Music-Studio-Productions in Nashville, Tennessee where I specialize in artist development, songwriting and music production.
