I am responsible for all of Jeff Scott Soto's design and artwork as well as promotion here in the UK. I have my own graphic design company, called Sirius-B, based in Bristol and have commercial clients as well as helping out Jeff whenever I can. I have also designed albums and logos for other bands, including Journey, Talisman, Soul SirkUS, Human Clay, RTZ, James Christian, Tommy Funderburk, Sam Grow, Eddie Martin, ACTION and Melodicrock.com. My most recent creation is for Jeff's new solo album 'Beautiful Mess'.My graphic design company handles everything from corporate identity to catalogues and brochures and exhibition displays etc. You have to be versitle these days and so I apply my creative mind to anything that needs improving or originating. I tend to treat album design in a similar way to my commercial clients as they are a product that needs branding and have a requirement to stand out in the market place. I create album covers with a whole corporate identy in mind, as all CD’s require additional advertising and possibly merchandise, so it is an advantage to a band to have a recognisable theme that they can apply to everyhting from T-Shirts to websites and even their tour.
I designed Jeff’s new website together with Alex Philippi who is a good friend and Jeff’s webmaster and I also designed Jeff’s RedList site. I also manage Jeff’s Mailing List through the site and keep fans regularly updated with everything to do with JSS. I also set up the JSS ONLINE STORE that I run with help from Todd Seely in the US and Helen Jackson here in the UK, where we handle all of Jeff’s overseas customers.Amongst other things, I am a huge Queen fan and have followed them since the beginning. I love live concerts and was honoured to be asked to join Jeff on stage as a backing singer at the Queen Convention... for three years in a row! We also went on an unexpected tour! In fact it was at a Queen party that I first met Jeff when he performed ‘Dragon Attack’ with Brian May way back in 1999. There is a clip of that very show on Jeff’s site.I am very proud to say that I am good friends with Jeff and will always go out of my way to get that guy noticed. I am executive producer on his 'Essential Ballads' compilation, as I have always loved those most in his music. The highlight for me at a JSS concert is when he is alone playing keyboards as you know you are about to witness something very special and different each time. Needless to say, I’m with Jeff every step of the way.Please join the JSS Mailing List via Jeff’s site to receive regular updates and exclusive offers!
