Jeff Fatt was born in northern New South Wales, Australia, in 1953, one of two boys and two girls. The family ran a department store in the town called the Kwong Sing Emporium. Jeff was a keen surfer who spent most of his youth on a surfboard or playing piano in local bands with his brother, Hilton, on bass guitar. Apart from working in the family business, Jeffʼs first job was in the parcel pick-up of a major department store in Sydney. He also gained a Bachelor of Arts in Industrial Design. When Jeff moved to Sydney, he set up a business with his brother hiring out sound systems to local bands, while playing piano in his own rockabilly band, The Roadmasters. Future Wiggle Anthony Field and his brothers would regularly go to see Jeffʼs band perform. They told Jeff the food was better at the university shows that their band, The Cockroaches, played and so, lured by the promise of great desserts, he joined them. The Cockraoches made the charts and toured the country. When the band decided to stop touring, Anthony invited Jeff down to the studio to help him record an album of music for children. Jeff was renovating his house at the time and asked, ʻHow long will it take?ʼ Nineteen years later he has his answer! Jeff lives in a beachside suburb in Sydney, which he still renovates in any spare time he has around surfing, skiing and listening to Ray Charles and other soul music from the 1960s. Earlier this year he also had fun taking part in Sydneyʼs Chinese New Year celebrations, helping to launch the festivities as an official ambassador. Jeff enjoys touring with The Wiggles too, and in between all this activity he likes to get a lot of rest!
