Jeff Buckley

One badass Jeff

D.O.B. - 17th November, 1966

Home Town - Anaheim, California

Profession - Musician

Qualification - In spite of only releasing one studio album, Grace, Jeff is considered one of the greatest musical voices of our time. Choosing to concentrate on touring rather than recording, he gained armies of fans in all corners of the earth. Jeff even performed a tour of small clubs under a number of aliases, including The Crackrobats, A Puppet Named Julio and Martha & The Nicotines, because he said he missed the anonymity of playing in small venues. Though he was the son of prominent folk singer Tim Buckley, the influence of his father on Jeff's music was minimal, the pair only met once when Jeff was eight years old shortly before Tim's death. Jeff didn't attend the funeral, which bothered him greatly, and only got closure on the relationship in 1991 when he performed at a tribute concert to his father. Tragically drowning on 29th May, 1997, Jeff is one of the few contemporary musicians to have more posthumous releases than ones he was alive to witness.
