He taught as a child to pray and lean on the Lord. As his life was departing from him, his mother prayed with him, and instructed him to pray to the Lord in his mind for the Lord hears you. He knew that the Lord was is help and that everything was centered around God.

The highlight of Jeffrey's day was bickering with his little sister, Also, he thrived from pranks pulled on him by his cousins (who he considered to be his brothers and sisters and they know who they are, lol!) He was quick to tell them, "I'm grown, I don't play with children" (lol) He had a deep love for his family.

Jeffrey was known by many names Jeff, Smook, Bageria, Junior, June June, Strategizer, and his favorite name, Zo(given by his high school football friends) He was never married; HOWEVER, in his mind, he thought he had maids, personal assistants and many wives because of his high demands and celebrity status since the age of three.

Jeffrey attended Crystal Springs High School and later attended Copiah Lincoln Community College to further his education. He worked at FedEx and for the past eight years, he was employed at Hitachi(ABB) of Crystal Springs. 

Jeffrey began the love of music at a young age, he absolutely adored it. His grandmother purchased him a red drum set and that's where it all started. God blessed him with a beautiful voice and harmonious flow. Jeffery's mindset was beyond his age. He had a business mindset and God graced him with knowledge that was quite amazing. Little did we know he would grow up to be the artist--BossMane Zo.

Jeffrey was graced to sit in many sets many may never sit. He had the privilege to  meet many A-list artist and producers.
