Jeffrey Chin

Jeffrey has been playing piano since the age of six, when he began his formal musical training in classical piano under the tutlelage of Julia McCaslin and Samuel Rodetsky. During that time, he won numerous scholarships and awards, performing regularly in many open competitions and recitals. After eight years of private lessons, his interests began to blossom; he branched out and taught himself to play many other styles and types of music, including what would eventually turn out to be his passion...jazz. Jeffrey currently owns and runs his own recording studio, production company, music publishing company and independent record label (the latter two with his long-time friend and business partner, Steve Creason).

Past touring, recording and performance credits and clients include: Sylvester and the Two Tons Of Fun, Bill Summers and Summers' Heat, Lenny Williams (Tower of Power), Tremaine Hawkins, Chris Issak, Teddy Pendergrass, Little Milton, Ray Charles, Whoopi Goldberg, Danny Glover, Dolly Parton, Don Johnson, Everett Chambers, Orrin Keepnews, Malo (w/ Jorge Santana), Second Wind, Attitude (w/ David Brown and Mike Carabello of Santana), Little Anthony and the Imperials, Los Mocosos, DubAddxx, Columbia Artists ("Love, Janis"), Oracle, Adobe, Netscape, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sega, KRON, KTVU, KQED, KMEL, Casio, TCI, the San Francisco 49ers, BMW, Filmworks, Inc., San Francisco Fire Department, Anubis Entertainment, the Oakland Raiders, the Oakland Atheletics, San Francisco Symphony, Sinocast, Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, Pacific Music Camp, NAACP and the San Francisco Department of Parks & Recreation.

Armed with an array of keyboards and synthesizers or with nothing more than an acoustic piano, Jeffrey is available for your recording sessions, tours and live performances. He is also available as an accompanist, with or without his "acoustic" and "electric" ensembles. With a penchant to grow both musically and artistically, he is always seeking opportunities to produce, write and arrange for both established as well as new up-and-coming artists. And with a growing interest in corporate and industrial work, he always remains open to collaborations with filmmakers and directors to score original soundtracks in the film/motion-picture and commercial industry. Demo reel(s) available upon request.

When in town and not recording, Jeffrey performs live at various venues with his ensembles as well as with various artists, fellow musicians and friends in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
