Biography

Jerry Hey was born in 1950 in Dixon, Illinois to a family of musicians. His mother was a pianist and his father was a trombonist. Jerry also had two older brothers who played the trombone and tuba. After completing high school, Hey attended the National Music Camp for two summers. While in college, Hey studied under Bill Adam at Indiana University.[8][7]

Hey then relocated to Hawaii to become a member of Seawind band.[9][7]

In 1976, Hey moved to Los Angeles with the Seawind and recorded two albums for CTI Records under the direction of Harvey Mason.[9][6]

When Jerry Hey and Seawind moved to Los Angeles, Gary Grant had already been in the city for a year and was a well-known session player. He invited Jerry to join him on recording sessions, which helped to launch Jerry's career as a studio musician.[9][7]

Soon after arriving in LA, Quincy Jones got in touch with Jerry to ask him to play and arrange for an album titled “I Heard That!!”. Following that session, Jerry and his associates were invited to perform on every one of Quincy's recordings.[9][7] Hey later worked as a musician and arranger with David Foster.[5][6][10]

Jerry is the uncle of American keyboardist, songwriter, producer, arranger and musical director Henry Hey.

He composed and arranged the song "Jedi Rocks" for the 1997 Special Edition re-release of Return of the Jedi. He co-produced four songs on Lisa Stansfield's 2014 album, Seven.

Hey has received 6 Grammy Awards and 11 nominations.[11]
