However, not many know that 24-year-old Jeffrey didn’t have it easy in life. His father left his mother and him to fend for themselves when hewas young. Jeffrey dropped out of school at the age of 15, as he was getting into a lot of trouble. Soon after, came a moment when he picked up his pen and wrote down his frustrations. He did this because he believed that he had a story worth telling and he wanted people to hear it. Jeffrey noticed that he was writing long pages about his feelings which he then translated into poems. The poems were then given beats and a rhythm and soon, they were full-blown songs. Before he knew it, Jeffrey was recording his first song in a studio. When he asked a couple of his friends to hear the recorded version, they appreciated it and that’s how Jeffrey’s journey began as TK Bands.

In the 5 years that TK Bands has been performing, he has worked with several well-known celebrities and artists. Jeffrey hopes to keep making good music and take-home awards someday.
