“Chester Bennington answered the phone on March 20th, 1999, at his home in Phoenix. The guy on the other end of the line, Jeff Blue, vice president of A&R at Zomba music in Los Angeles, came straight to the point: ‘I’m going to give you your big break. I have a great band for you. 44 showcases and 4 years later, he never stopped.'”

– Chester Bennington (Linkin Park)

My experience working with Jeff was fun, creative and just as every artist wants, we got results”

– Justin McCain (Atlantic Records recording artist, Emphatic)

– Macy Gray

“Jeff saw me when I was a drummer in a failing band from Spain. He believed in my talent, pulled me out of the band, and stuck me in three signed bands over the past 10 years.

Jeff supported my vision and more importantly we became best friends. I couldn’t have done it without him.”
