[hide] *Youth 1  ==Youth[Edit] == Buckley was born in California and came from a musical family. His father was the singer-songwriter Tim Buckley, which a number of folk and jazz albums released at the end of the 60 's, early 70 's. Jeff has barely known his father. His name was Scott to his eighth year (y) Moorhead, to his stepfather. After a meeting with his father, he was so impressed that he at his birth name, Jeff Scott Buckley, wanted to be called. Buckley SR. died in 1975 to a deadly cocktail of heroin and morphine. The mother of Jeff has a more classical musical background (piano and cello). Jeff moves in his youth about every year once. He teaches singing and playing guitar and leaves the family home at the age of 17. He returns to Los Angeles to with making music in his living. ==Sin-é[Edit] == Jeff moves in the early 1990s to New York. There he learns Gary Lucas, with whom he works some time. They act under the name Gods and Monsters on in St. Ann's Church, New York, where later also a tribute in honor of his father. Jeff occurs somewhere halfway on. the record industry knows that he is "the son of", but no more than that. He makes an overwhelming impression on the plates banging (also by the similarity to his father) and leave with a Pocket full of business cards. He plays his music arranged in small halls and pubs. Sin-é is one of his favorite watering holes, where he settled in the Hall with voice and guitar on his own enchants. During this memorable performances were recorded. Some of these result in 1994 in the publication of his first mini-live album Live at Sin-é. This gallery with partly own compositions and covers (including a song by Van Morrison), reflects the way Jeff Buckley his music. The attention of the music industry was drawn. ==Grace[Edit] == In the same year as Live at Sin-é, 1994, Graceappears, an album that elaborates on the mini album, but which he instead of solo with a band plays. There are his own compositions, as well as some covers (a.o. byLeonard Cohen) that was directed by Buckley on its own unique way. The album is well received by the public, but the style of the music is a major breakthrough in the way. In the two years after Buckley has been touring around the world. ==His death[Edit] == After all performances following the album Grace was the time in 1997 for a new album. Songs that were written on tour, were elaborated and in may he went with his band in the studio. Buckley was then already moved to Tennessee. The first recordings smoothly and Buckley charged to a short break in. At the end of May was the time finally the numbers. Buckley left the rest of the band to Memphis, where the shooting would take place. On the afternoon of May 29, he went with a friend in the Wolf River Marina (in Memphis, TN) a short swim before he would go to the studio. The friend moved the radio that stood on the edge of the River because of a wave that was caused by a boat, and when he looked round was Jeff Buckley disappeared. He probably drowned by a dangerous undercurrent. He is 30 years old.

His body was, despite searches, only a week later recovered by a tourist on a boat and on land. There was over speculation that Buckley would have committed suicide, because he would have his heavy boots still worn while swimming. The autopsy does have shown that he had taken no illegal drugs before he went swimming and that an overdose so can be excluded as cause of death.
