Hailing from Texas, Jeff Halbert’s journey in sound began at the age of 12 when he received his first guitar. This quickly evolved into songwriting and recording demos on a four-track recorder, igniting a lifelong passion for recorded sound. After completing an internship at a music recording studio, he was offered a staff position, marking the launch of his career as an audio professional.

Later Jeff and his wife Kirsten would move to Los Angeles which proved to be a pivotal moment in his career, allowing him to collaborate with a diverse array of notable artists and contribute to a Grammy-nominated album. It was during this time that a friend’s introduction to sound design revealed his true calling, guiding him toward a path in audio post-production.

As a sound designer, Jeff has worked on notable projects including the “Pickle Rick” episode of Rick and Morty, which was nominated for an MPSE Golden Reel Award, and Star Trek: Lower Decks, recognized with a Primetime Emmy nomination for outstanding sound editing. Since joining Sound Rebels in 2021, he has been a part of projects such as Battle of the Super Sons, which received an Emmy nomination for sound mixing and editing. Jeff values collaboration and the art of storytelling.
