Jeff Dawson is a Vancouver-based songwriter, producer, engineer and mixer whose career has been guided by one simple principle: “It’s all about the song.” Regardless of genre, Jeff brings a fierce focus to song structure, emotional impact and capturing artists at their very best—both as players and vocalists.
Jeff produced Daniel Powter’s self-titled debut album, featuring the Grammy-nominated global hit “Bad Day,” and the certified Gold album Life, Love and Lies by Universal/Republic pop-rock band State of Shock. His songwriting credits include “The Last of Our Kind,” performed by Rykka as Switzerland’s entry in the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest.
Working from his Vancouver studio, The Den, Jeff provides songwriting, production, vocal production, editing, stereo mixing and immersive Dolby Atmos mixing. His approach combines decades of record-making experience with a modern, artist-focused workflow, always preserving the personality, power and emotional identity of the music.
When he is not in the studio, Jeff can usually be found cycling the roads and mountains surrounding Vancouver.
