About

Hi all, I'm John Kerfoot from Kerfo Music.

I’m based in the UK and work full time in the music industry. I am a music producer and songwriter. My studio is in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside in the Midlands.

I play drums, piano, guitar (badly) and I sing.

I started out life playing in bands at the age of 10 upwards, from performing vocals and playing guitar in a 4 piece rock band in my teens to drumming for Jon Eno’s Screaming Kicks Big Band, playing around the UK, with a tour to Atlanta and France. I started producing music at age 15 and had my first release on a record label that year. That’s right you guessed it, I started my producing life as a 4 on the floor EDM kid who’s goal in life was to turn up to a gig with a USB stick instead of a whole drum kit. Just over 2 years later I was working with Universal Music MENA after winning a remix competition for their artist Anthony Touma on his track “Walk Away”. I spent my weekends as a student in London DJing at various clubs and bars, putting in my longest shifts on the "decks" of 9pm to 5am at Roadtrip & The Workshop. Fast forward a decade and I now spend the majority of my time producing for new talent and established artists both signed and unsigned. I have worked with artists in the Western and European markets as well as in the Asian markets. I also get asked to do Bespoke music projects for sync publishers. To kick off 2025 I was commissioned to write and produce a 10 track K-pop album for Atomica Music, who are one of the largest independent sync publishers in the USA.

If this is something that you’d like to achieve as well, then I think we should probably have a chat… MY INSPIRATIONS -Cirkut, Max Martin, Quincy Jones, Ilya, Savan Kotecha, you can see where this is going. Thank you for reading about me and my music industry journey so far. I absolutely love what I do and wouldn't have it any other way. Believe me, we're just getting started.
