Jef’s exposure to and interest in music began at a young age in church, then moving onto popular music on the radio during long bus rides to school, learning to play guitar, studying jazz and learning to play both tenor and baritone sax in high school, and then joining the underground rave/electronic scene of the 90s and 2000s.
