Music career

[edit]

After traveling and touring around the US with several different bands including his own, Silverman arrived in Los Angeles in 1976 and was hired by Rick Springfield as his lead guitarist / background vocalist for his US tour for the "Wait for Night" album. He was then signed to his first production contract as a singer / songwriter / artist by Rick’s production company, Carman Productions, owned and operated by Sound City Studio owners and founders, Joe Gottfried and Tom Skeeter.

Silverman spent several years recording and developing his artist career while partnering with co-producer / engineer, Bill Drescher, in Sound City Studios. During this time, Silverman was a session guitarist / vocalist and toured as lead guitar player with acts such as Redbone[10] and Roger Miller. He also continued to write, record, perform and produce songs with Rick Springfield and many other artists. The Springfield/Silverman collaboration and their culmination of songs and recordings that they wrote and produced together, eventually became their first co-artist release on Frontiers Records in 2010 entitled From The Vault (A collection of Works by Rick Springfield and Jeff Silverman).[11][12][3]

In 1988, Silverman was signed to Motown’s publishing company, Stone Diamond Music, by music industry icon, Lester Sill. This connection led to an introduction and work with Berry Gordy and his sons, Rodney and Kerry Gordy. Kerry worked as VP of A&R and artist development at Paisley Park (a joint venture between Time-Warner and “Prince”). Kerry also served as Vice President of A&R for Warner Bros. Records Black Music Division. This connection led to Silverman working on many of Kerry’s projects such as Prince, Stepchild, Belize, Eljai, George Clinton and Rosie Gaines.[13]

After 30 years residing in LA, in 2006, Silverman and Lyn moved to Nashville, TN, where he continues to pursue his artistic endeavors.
