About Me

I don't add people or bands indiscriminately, so you actually have to attempt to start a conversation with me. Then, I'll be more than happy to add you!

With that out of the way...

AIM - JeffroRecordsYou
Well, hello there. My name's Jeffro.
I'm an optimist who's discovered over the course of the last few years that happiness lies in having something to be excited about. For me, that usually involves traveling around the world or recording a great band.
I lived in New Zealand for a bit. Came back too early, but learned some important lessons along the way. Now, I live in Milwaukee but am planning my next world conquest.
Other than that, I enjoy cooking, reading the occasional book, making music, recording other people's music, and having the perfect CD on at the perfect moment.
Send me a message. We'll talk. It'll be fun. Good times. Yeah.

Looking to record? Feel free to check out some of the bands I've worked with and talk to them about how they liked the recording experience:

Bands: Please, please, please do NOT use my page as a way to advertise your new CD/show/pictures/etc. Any comments doing that will be deleted and you more than likely will not be my myspace "friend" anymore.
Unless you buy me Skittles.
I love Skittles.
And I'm gonna go ahead and bring this back, just 'cause From the Headline got a laugh out of me for it:
