Jeff Eyre
Co-Founder/Musician
Jeff was the co-founder, designer and builder of the Fort Studios. He was one of Julian's best friends and supporters. He designed and created a studio that inspires creativity and professionalism and just feels good to be in.
A professional bassist (among many other things), Jeff touched so many lives in music. He was so proud of the studio and the team and was elated when the studio and artists were nominated and won awards. His passion for Hero Song and helping Veterans, 1st Responders and Active Military record for free was an example of the man he was.
Jeff sadly passed away in 2024 leaving behind the legacy that is the Fort Studios.
