Jeffery David- Glass Half-Full

Our guest this week is lifetime producer, Jeffery David. Jeff has worked in music for the entirety of his life, producing tracks independently, and also as a musical director for his church. He has collaborated with superstars like Zedd, and built his success from the ground up. Most recently, in addition to being a top-tier producer, he also manages the chart topping band Echosmith- who also happens to be his family.

Jeff joins us to discuss his experience in the music industry and how a glass-half-full mentality can make all the difference, on this episode of The Big Break.
