Industry Endorsements

The greatest compliment is the respect of your peers. These endorsements come from artists and musicians I've had the privilege of working alongside throughout my career.

Anyone who has seen me in concert over the years will know these players are the best of the best, and every time they join me on stage you are guaranteed a really memorable performance.

Graeme Connors

ARIA Award-winning singer-songwriter • 14-time Golden Guitar winner • Australian Roll of Renown inductee

Jeff Camilleri is one hell of a bass player. With a career spanning 25 years he has played bass on some impressive projects including writing and performing on his own solo album which I had the privilege of playing on. Hopefully it will be out next year. It’s always been a pleasure sharing the stage with Jeff.

Mario Millo

ARIA Award-winning Composer and Founding Member of Sebastian Hardie

I engaged Jeff to record bass tracks (remotely) for 10 songs that form my recently released album of original songs. I had seen and heard Jeff work over the years and knew that he would be great. Given that I was recording the album remotely I wanted the bass tracks to be as full of life as possible: I wanted a player that could interpret the song creatively and skilfully with next to no indication from me about what I wanted to hear. Jeff excelled - I knew he would. An enormously tasteful bass player and all round musician. Absolutely professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommended by me.
