History

Jacob was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He began playing the piano when he was 5 years old and writing original music at age 10. He wasn't planning on pursuing a music career under any other moniker other than his birth name (a different last name) but the death of his father Jeffrey fell just weeks before the first EP release (Life As An Extra). JEFFries, is a nod to his father. In 2006 Jacob formed the Jacob Jeffries Band with friends Jimmy Powers on guitar, Brian Lang on bass and Josh "Papa Bear" Connolly on drums.

Between 2006 & 2012 Jacob released 2 EP's (Life As An Extra, Wonderful), a live album (Waiting For The Piano Movers) & a full-length LP (Tell Me Secrets) that he recorded with Grammy Award-winning producers Sebastian Krys & Dan Warner.

The music of Miami is a diverse and important field in the world of music. The Greater Miami area has long been a hub for diverse musical genres.
