About the Treasure Island Discs Podcast

Treasure Island Discs with Jeff Moffatt is a podcast that sails beneath the surface of song, exploring the music that has shaped the lives and creative journeys of some of the most inspirational and imaginative artists of our time. More than just a conversation, each episode is a deep dive into the soundtrack of a life—an exploration of the albums, songs, and artists that have left a lasting mark on those who have, in turn, left their mark on the world.

Hosted by musician and storyteller Jeff Moffatt, the show invites guests to reflect on the music that moved them, challenged them, and became part of who they are. We take great care in curating each episode—inviting guests not just because of their fame or following, but because they have a story to tell. Whether it’s a moment of quiet inspiration or a turning point on a global stage, each conversation is guided by authenticity, insight, and a shared love of music that means something.

From legendary songwriters and producers to genre-defying performers and emerging voices, Treasure Island Discs offers a relaxed and intimate space where creativity is unpacked, memories are unearthed, and unexpected truths emerge through the songs that have shaped a life. This is more than a podcast about music. It’s about the people behind it, the lives between the lines, and the soundtracks that carry us all.

About the Host

Jeff Moffatt is a lifelong musician, producer, and storyteller with a passion for the songs that shape us. He began playing music at the age of 12 and quickly became a multi-instrumentalist, mastering both guitar and drums. By 16, he was a Canadian National Stage Band Champion, and he has since gone on to perform professionally for over 30 years.

In addition to his work as a musician, Jeff was a nationally ranked competitive freestyle ski athlete, competing across Canada and the United States. His drive and creative spirit later found new expression in business, where he has spent more than three decades as a business owner and entrepreneur in the real estate, hospitality and investment industries.

Jeff also brings a wealth of experience as a podcast host. He was a presenter on the entertainment show Ottawa Living, where he interviewed a wide range of national and international artists, including Stereophonics, Colin Hay, Ron Sexsmith, and many others. His natural curiosity, music industry experience and ability to connect with artists laid the foundation for his unique approach to interviewing on Treasure Island Discs.

As a recording artist, Jeff has released numerous albums and continues to write, produce, and perform both as a solo artist and as a member of the duo Rothwell and Moffatt. When he’s not in the studio or on the mic, you’ll find him on the golf course, playing recreationally and competitively.

He divides his time between Canada and the United States, always searching for new stories, new songs, and meaningful conversations—something he brings to every episode of Treasure Island Discs.
