From the Studio to the Stage (Jeff Martin)

Welcome to the thirteenth episode of Zero to One Podcast! I am super eager to get this message out to you today because Jeff Martin not only has a wealth of knowledge on music production, he also happens to be the drummer for one of my favorite musicians, Trevor Hall. About a year ago, I had the opportunity to see Trevor Hall live in Columbus. For those of you who don't know Trevor Hall, he is known for his rather soothing acoustic music. Still, on his last record, he decided to incorporate more acoustic percussion and just an overall bigger sound, which opened up a door for Jeff Martin. Shortly after that, Jeff would find himself touring all across America, playing some of the biggest venues in the country with Trevor. In between tours, you will discover jeff in Columbus, Ohio, working out of his home studio where he has recorded several different local and national acts.

In today's interview, we discuss what Jeff is doing with his time in isolation. We talk about what manifested his love for recording music and how it all started when he was 17 with an old MacBook, mixing board, and a box of his father's SM57 microphones. We talk about some of the lessons he has learned and how moving out to LA for music made him recognize you have to be more adaptable to make this a career. We talk about how he got his big break with Trevor Hall and some of his experiences with touring and recording Trevor Hall's latest single at his home studio here in Columbus. Lastly, we discuss his most significant zero to one moment and how touring with Trevor has enabled him to be in a place where he can be more stable.
