Jeff Relyea

Hard Music & Hip Hop Editor

Jeff was born and raised in the Waco, TX area. Before you ask, no he didn't know David Koresh or any branch
davidians. Jeff grew up in a christian home and was raised on southern gospel and Carman. But around the
age of 14 he bought a cassette called Ultimate Rap which featured DC Talk, SFC, Stephen Wiley, The
Rapsures and P.I.D.. He was hooked and saved all allowance money so he could buy the latest hip hop
album that came out. Then at the age of 18, he discovered One Bad Pig which kicked off a love affair
with punk and heavy metal and still hasn't died down to this day. He loves to attend live shows and
concerts and wants to open his own music venue one day. Jeff has an associates degree in Applied Arts from KD Studio, an actor's conservatory in Dallas, TX and has a desire to act, direct, and produce live theatre,
movies and television shows. He is involved in his church as a youth staff worker and soundman which he enjoys very much. He has a heart for young people and all the junk they have to face with today's society. Jeff is single, living in the Nashville area so all you local hunnies, give Jeff a holler. Peace.
