“Words are beautiful but restricted. They're very masculine, with a compact frame. But voice is over the dark, the place where there's nothing to hang on: it comes from a part of yourself that simply knows, expresses itself, and is.”

American musician

Jeff Buckley was an American musician best known for his singular solo career in the 1990s. Born Jeffrey Scott Buckley, he first spent years working as a session guitarist in Los Angeles before drawing attention in the East Village, Manhattan, where his live performances began to build an audience. He signed with Columbia and released his only studio album, Grace, in 1994. Buckley then toured widely to support the record, playing in the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
