He is the lead singer for the R&B-pop group The Philosopher Kings, which reached its peak popularity in the late1990s. During the group's 7-year hiatus, Eaton began a solo career, releasing the album Shake it Off in 2002 under the stage name Jarvis Church, derived from two parallel streets in Toronto, Ontario. The Philosopher Kings subsequently reunited and released a new album in February 2006. In 2008 Jarvis released his second solo album called "The Long way Home". In 2012 he released his 3rd solo album The Soul Station Vol 1: The songs of Sam Cooke, A Tribute. As a producer, in 1999 he discovered Nelly Furtado at the Honey Jam showcase in Toronto Canada and in 2001 he co-produced Nelly Furtado's debut album Whoa, Nelly! With his Philosopher Kings bandmate Brian West. In 2001 they were nominated for the producer of the year Grammy and went on to produce a variety of different tracks under the production name Track and Field. In 2004 Jarvis also discovered Canadian/Somalian rapper K'naan in Toronto and co-wrote and co-produced his first two albums, the Juno award winning, The Dusty Foot Philosopher and his sophomore release, Troubadour.
