Jeff Reylee is a Vegas based Multi-Faceted Artist and Content Creator. A master vocalist and eccentric producer, Jeff will always keep you guessing...What's next. His work covers a spectrum of expressions, and the world he has created is undiscovered, and ready to be explored. "Well, there's the fluff. Normally an artist goes on and on about how great they are and highlight all they're accomplishments. I'm going to do mine al little different. I'm going to be honest. I have found myself along a different path. Mine is a story of disappointment, loss, and being adrift in the sea of obscurity. To date I am a virtually "audience-less" artist...It's been a vexing and unlucrative journey- Overall. Don't get me wrong, I have had some great moments. I got to play some sweet venues and I had some really good crowds, but here is the truth: I have spent most of my career performing for empty rooms, turned backs, and generally apathetic crowds. I came out to Vegas around 2006 thinking I was in the right place. It was exciting, and I was turning heads. At first things looked really good. But I needed help. I needed someone to believe in me. I just needed a chance. I'd been preparing for this moment for twenty years, but I was abandoned- and I lost my head. I became maniacal. I lost myself. I lost everything. Determined, I pressed on. I soon began to realize that folks were far more interested in their video poker machines than the entertainment. Despite this, my tip jar was usually full, and I got accolades. People told me I was great! It gave me the confidence to forge ahead. But I never broke through- Never got to the next level. I gave it my all but lost what was most dear to me in the process. I fell into despair. Anxiety and depression soon plagued me. I wasn't getting anywhere, and my health was impacted. Performing became more an act of desperation than a rewarding pursuit. I have never been fortunate enough to build a significant fan base, or been privileged with promoters, managers, marketing agents, A & R people, professional recording studios, and the like. Mostly I have gone it alone, with the exception of "The Shunned", and REYLEE, my Band. We had a great run. We were fantastic! We could not seem to break through, however. And, just when it was looking like we might, a series of unfortunate events stopped us in our tracks. Truth is, though, as unsuccessful as I've been, I'm o.k. with it. Mine is a dream that never dies and regardless of the outcome, it is mine to experience. Somehow through it all I have found virtue in quiet and personal victories, and solace in a world that does not hear me. In response to all of this I have created my own little world where I live and triumph. So, now I invite you to check out my stuff- with all the pain and angst, and joy it has brought. The one thing I can promise is that my artistic expressions come from a place of raw and brutal honesty. I hope you enjoy it, and I will keep on doing what I do...'Cause its who I am. Being an artist can be an all or nothing thing. I invite you to Explore the nothing with me- I hope you find it as fascinating as I do".
