Jeffrey Sebastian Washburn grew up in North Miami Beach, Florida. His parents, both musicians, always encouraged Jeff’s growth in the arts and fostered an appreciation for many different kinds of art and music. Jeff started taking weekly private art lessons at the age of six, which continued throughout high school. He honed his artistic observation skills by drawing from life - mostly posed action figures.

At the age of ten, following in his father’s footsteps, Jeff began learning to play the guitar. Throughout his teenage years, Jeff played at church services and various school functions, and was a standout musician among his peers. His influences include Queen, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Prince, Eric Johnson, and Joe Satriani.

While in college, Jeff continued developing his voice and guitar skills, performing in various bands regularly at local venues. He earned two BFA degrees in Sequential Art and Media & Performing Arts from The Savannah College of Art & Design. He has performed such roles as Augustine Magaldi (Evita), Pan (Bat Boy: The Musical), and Frederick (The Pirates of Penzance).

After graduating college, Jeff relocated to New York City in the fall of 2005. Since moving to New York, Jeff has performed in a variety of shows at the Laurie Beechman Theater, The Triad Theater, The Canal Room, and Joe’s Pub to name a few. On three separate occasions, he has led the Broadway cast of HAIR as music director for the BE IN: A Night of Music and Love with members of the Public Theater's cast of HAIR - A Benefit for Broadway Cares, Equity Fights AIDS at Joe’s Pub.

Jeff strives for excellence in every endeavor, whether it’s playing a gig with one of his 10+ bands, leading the congregation in song at Our Lady of Refuge church, teaching guitar, designing web sites, or doing freelance graphic design work. Jeff is a true modern-day renaissance man.
