Biography

Born in Columbus, Ohio, Jerrold Launer was influenced by music and sound before he took his first steps. As the youngest member of a musical family that performed professionally, Jerrold learned at an early age the ins and outs of live performance.

By age fifteen, Jerrold had joined his father's jazz trio and was a member of the Musicians' Union as a bass player and drummer.
