About Jeff Northam


Jeff Northam was born on the afternoon of march 4th 1983, at a hospital in Washington DC. His life in music started from day one. Shortly after birth his parents found out everytime they played any form of music he would raise up and look around with a joyful yet content look on his face.


At age three, Jeff's older brother started taking piano lessons. At that time Jeff would sit down on the sofa behind the piano and listen in on the lesson. After his brother's lesson was over he would then take up the paino seat and play back what his brother played just a few minutes before during his brother's lesson. After that his parents knew that he had a gift for music.


A few years later when he was old enough to start forming his own opinion on music, they found out that he really disliked playing anything other then his own original music. Jeff managed to live through 10 years of lessons by rearranging most anything his teacher asked him to play, at the age of twelve his teacher wanted him to go to the Peabody Conservatory of Music. Being the shy kid that he was as with hating the idea of school, he wanted nothing to do with it.


Jeff spent most of his early teenage years playing video games. One series that stood out the most was Final Fantasy. He has always enjoyed video game music and has always wanted to write music for them.


Now, at the age of 21, Jeff works during the day full time as a manager and waiter at a local restaurant. At night he works on his own original music.
