My Passions
I have been a musician since I was 10 years old. I created my own music entertainment company in the 1980s and was picked up by the renowned Power Station Recording Studio NYC to come and work as an audio technician/engineer. I met and worked with legendary artists in the music industry and continue playing, recording and writing music today in my spare time. Ever since was I was a pre-teen I gravitated my interests in electronics and technology and just couldn't get enough of it. In 1984 I coded my first BBS with over 2,000 member worldwide hosting a server that I built with multiple analog phone connections pre-internet. I love traveling to places and meeting people from very remote places less traveled. I enjoy the challenge of figuring out and solving complex problems under pressure. I love being apart of something big and the role I can play in it to make a difference. I also discovered the world of "AI" music. I've been able to publish some of my songs for worldwide streaming distribution on over 150+ platforms under the Artist name: BobJersey. You can find my music on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora to mention a few.
