He's the DJ, we all know that, but DJ JAZZY JEFF, also known as JEFFREY TOWNES, is also a record producer and business man while filling the role as Philadelphia's resident creative and professional inspiration for new talent in R&B, POP, HIP-HOP, JAZZ and SOUL genres. Most days, JEFF can be found in the control room of his studio at A TOUCH OF JAZZ. Whether he's producing his protÈgÈ JILL SCOTT, who made her debut on Hidden Beach/Epic Records this spring, or writing producing tracks and Executive Producing the smash Willenium album or organising a Sunday jam session for local musicians including JAMES POYSER, BILAL OLIVER and JEFF LEE JOHNSON. Among his many credits, JEFF is the writer of the theme song for "The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air," and a track on the Simpsons compilation album. His professional collaboration with WILL SMITH, which dates back to 1985, has resulted in sales of over 10 million albums. Most recently, the evolution of the two stars' relationship was exemplified when JEFF served as the Executive Producer on the multi-platinum International smash "Willenium" as well as produced most of the tracks.
