Trivia - Gianfranco Randone got his nickname "Jeffrey" by his American friend who called him this as a joke, to make his name sound more American. Gianfranco then went to a vocalist audition at a disco and someone there thought he should come up with a cool nickname. So he took "Jeffrey" and added "Jay" (as in VJ or VeeJay) to the end. To make it sound more like a name, he changed the "Jay" to "Jey". "Jeffrey Jey".
- Has one brother and one sister.
- Musical influences are U2, Duran Duran, Rick Astley, and Depeche Mode.
