Jeff Handel is an educator, musician, and creator in Charleston, SC.
He is creating as we speak.
Jeff is proud to endorse the following companies and their products:
Jeff starts his days surrounded by marching band and drumlines, but that is not always how his day ends.
He spends his nights in the recording studio tracking demos and albums, in the home studio crafting beats, in the club playing jazz standards, or on the stage with the symphony. Music is the driving force.
“Music is a moral law. ... It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything; It is the essence of order and lends to all that is good, just, and beautiful.”
-Socrates
