In the city of Orange, Tone Deaf Jeff was born.
Jeffery, my birth name was formed.
My father, gone but that story's the norm.
California was my youth until we moved,
Uprooted to Utah to pursue a life of truth, justice and the American way.
I was fourteen if I was a day.
Ran with the bad kids if you know what I mean,
Had good times, bad and the in between.
Had some trouble with the boys in blue
Don't act like you haven't had your share too.
Then I bought a drum machine
And I began to fiend for sounds serene
Started buying wax and emceeing.
Now I"m on my way to a higher state of being
I guess It's probably time I started competing
Cause life is short and every moment is fleeting.
Why this name?
David Lazer called me out on my ineptitude at staying in key, while I was singing one autumn day. I happened to like the moniker, and decided to keep it as my recording name. Tone Deaf Jeff, doesn't that sh*** just roll off the tongue?
Do you play live?
Tone Deaf Jeff does not play live due to the ripping of space-time every time he spits a verse.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Music is free! Well, if you don't live morally. And who does?
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the offer.
