To begin with, the boy was raised in Illinois, but spent part of his youth in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before moving to Longview, Washington where he matriculated in 1976. He began to play the bass at the age of 13, and studied music at the University of Washington but left before graduating.

In 1978, Jeff went to San Francisco where he recorded some experiences in local bands. In 1983, he reached Los Angeles, and was contacted by front man Don Dokken, who was looking for a bassist for his Dokken band. Pilson entered the band just in time to appear in the video clip of “Breaking the Chains” (1983), though without playing in the original track. Jeff became a vital member of Dokken during the years of their rise to fame, helping to write hits such as “Into the Fire” (1984), “Alone Again” (1985), “In My Dreams” (1986), “Dream Warrios” (1987) and many more, and establishing a base for his net worth.

Following the dissolution of the Dokken in 1989, Pilson founded the War & Peace band. In the early 1990s, he also worked as a trainer for Wild Horses, guitarist Michael Lee Firkins and McAuley Schenker Group. In 2001, he recorded with his former companion George Lynch the album “Wicked Underground”, which was produced by themselves. Afterwards, Pilson became the bassist of Foreigner in the summer of 2004, and worked with Mick Jones, Kelly Hansen and Jason Bonham. In 2009, the band recorded its first album “Cannot Slow Down”. In 2011, he founded the T&N group together with his former companions in Dokken, George Lynch and Mick Brown. The band released the album “Slave to the Empire” in 2012, in which Pilson is the solo voice helped by some special guests. He collaborated with Lynch in 2015 by taking part in the incarnation of the album “Rebel”.

Other engagements that increased Jeff Pilson’s net worth were playing in the Steel Dragon, a band formed specifically for the film “Rock Star” (2001). In 2011, he gave the voice to Johnny Cage’s character in the video game “Mortal Combat”, but also gradually became a producer, working on albums by Benedictum and Kill Devil Hill. In 2015, he produced the album “Heavy Crown” by the Last in Line group.

Finally, in the personal life of Jeff Pilson, he is married to Ravinder, and they have a daughter.
