While cutting his teeth in the music scene around Nashville, Chad attended Belmont University for four years. He graduated with a double major in music business and marketing. He would then return to his alma mater, as an adjunct Professor in America’s only accredited Music Business program. Jeffers gained invaluable knowledge in leading and instructing students of all ages. Having that skill as a backdrop, he thrives with his innate ability to perform for small and large numbers of people.
Chad has worked steadily as an artist/musician, songwriter, and producer with some of music’s biggest names. While touring globally, Chad has been asked by scores of people how he is able to consistently perform at such a high energetic level. With his fine-tuned experience as a performer, Chad has honed in on a process that will help anyone become “Performance Ready”.
When he isn’t in the studio or on a worldwide tour, you can find him driving on the backroads of Tennessee in his vintage 1983 Mercedes 380SL with his beloved dog, Derby in the passenger seat. He is also an avid collector of watches, guitars and Freemasonry historical artifacts.

WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT CHAD
“We have an event we call ‘Innovate’, where we bring creative people together. I’ve had Chad speak three different times now. Every time – he is real, he is warm, he’s non threatening, but at the same time inspiring and engaging with the audience calling them to higher level of achievements, calling them to release what their very best skill is. I recommend him highly as somebody to inspire your audience.”

“I’ve had Chad on as a guest twice so far and each time he comes on, he brings with him his practical wisdom and does a beautiful job combining it together with his humor and his down-home common sense. I’ve also heard Chad speaks live in front of an audience. He is easy to be around, fun to listen to, and is very engaging. Chad is a great fit for a variety of venues and I recommend him highly.”
JOEL BOGGESS
Author, Podcaster, Speaker
“Chad Jeffers exceeded all expectations when speaking to our group of kids at the Grand Ole Opry this summer. Not only was he knowledgeable, he communicated in a way that made our students and parents alike connect to his words and teaching. Chad was professional and kind, qualities that every working musician must posses to succeed in the music business. Showcasing his skill by playing multiple pieces on the Dobro, Chad offered a hands on approach to his speaking style. You will NOT be disappointed with the information Chad Jeffers shares!”
