College
Jeff and Heath’s story began at Auburn University in Alabama, where their friendship took root. From 1988 to 1994, they formed the backbone of The Chillbumps—Jeff on bass, Heath on guitar and backup vocals. They brought their unique blend of alternative rock to countless gigs, creating music that resonated deeply with fans across the Southeast.
In The Mean Time
After The Chillbumps, Jeff moved to Atlanta, pursuing a career in IT and exploring music under aliases like AudioSpam2.0 and BuddhaFi. Heath took a different path, joining the Marines after 9/11 and serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. His post-military years were marked by deep introspection and resilience, as he navigated life's challenges and embraced his evolving identity. Though their journeys diverged, the call of music always lingered, setting the stage for their eventual reunion.
Now
Reunited in 2022, Jeff and Heath’s creative spark reignited instantly. Their first track, Catch Me When I Fall, explored themes of love and trust, paving the way for a prolific collaboration. With 24 original songs now recorded, including Christmas Lost Today on the Rockin’ the Holidays compilation, they’re sharing their music through SoundCloud and podcasts. Hecojeni is just getting started.
