The other night I took a trip across the river to meet up with my buddy Jeff Lee to record at his home in Belleville, IL. I've known Jeff for several years now. He has become a great friend, even played my Toys for Tots benefit in 2018 with ThePour! We've had a lot of fun but I've never really got to know much about his early days. So we started at the beginning for this conversation. We talked about some of his past projects and his debut single for his brand new project FIRE THE HUMANS. He shares the story behind the lyrics, filming the music video with J.T. Ibanez, recording "Vanish" and I even let him get a sneak peek at the parody I'm already working on.
