About Me

Jeff Sheppard is a unique talent and a gifted musician making his mark on the world. Jeff will be heard not because of his yearning for fame or money, but because he wants to make a change in the world. His soulful, uplifting lyrics and beats are a true reflection of who Jeff is. Writing, producing and creating beautiful vocal harmonies and truly inspirational music. He has touched upon genres such as soul, funk, ballads, modern rock and folk, just to name a few. His soulful and haunting vocals are a true compliment to his soothing melodies and addictive sound.
Not content to play covers and live gigs forever, Jeff began writing and producing original pieces. By the late 90s he had recorded and produced his first CD Step Up. By this stage Jeff was beginning to gain a reputation in the industry as a talented keyboard player and an exceptional vocalist.
By 2000 Jeff was becoming more confident in his writing and production skills and soon released his first full Album in 2002, Everything in Its Time. A truly sensational attempt at a debut album. Up lifting and moving Lyrics, exceptional harmonies and melodies ready to rival the likes of John Mayer and Seal. This is a very well produced and addictive album; he will have you singing & humming his catchy tunes all day.
Well on his way to producing world class music Jeff decided to incorporate outside influences to broaden his musical horizons. He soon joined the urban music specialists Midnight as their house keyboard player. This was a perfect opportunity to work with well known musical artists and experience world tours and live performances on Channel V, Good Morning Australia and the Footy show. Jeffs amazing musical abilities and professional manner enabled him to work with music greats such Lionel Ritchie and support Justin Timberlake on his Australian tour.
Jeff soon decided to record and produce his 3rd Album 'Take it with you', displaying a more mature approach to music and a new appreciation for his own work. Jeffs haunting voice singing heart felt and moving lyrics were a great match for his amazing keyboard skills. This Album is full of soulful tunes, mesmerizing melodies and soothing vocal harmonies. Jeffs work has a strong soul influence but will appeal to the pop rock audience. This Album really has a tune for all.
Jeff is now on his way to writing and producing his 4th Album while winning international songwriting competitions and competing against Grammy nominated artists. He is a unique talent, his writing and producing skills are world class, his voice one of a kind and his passion for music is evident in his work. "My writing has always been the core of why I love music so much. Since the first song it has been what has driven me to be so passionate about the amazing gift that music can be to a person. I hope that creating something from my heart can inspire others, or even just make them smile or embrace life a little more. But as well as all that, it has made my life a pleasure to live."
