Bio

Late 1969, thats when I started. We were on the play ground at Burton Elementary in LAFAYETTE California when somebody said “Hey, let’s start a band” So we put down our baseball gloves and proceed to take guitar lessons from a local high school that one of the mothers found.

Jeff learned the fundamentals of playing guitar at age 9 from blind teacher and mentor, Jim Phillips, aka “Blindgym,” joining his first band at age 11. In 1985, Jeff joined ‘Lydia Pense and Cold Blood,’ another popular East Bay band from Bill Graham’s San Francisco label. In 1991, Jeff joined with Mickey Thomas and ‘Starship’ touring worldwide.

Jeff has produced artists from all walks of life, including Alternative, Country, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, Smooth Jazz, and Techno. Today, as President of House of Hansen Productions, LLC, Jeff is building the #1 destination website for online digital music.
