As of 2017, the music video was viewed over 2 million times on YouTube.[6] According to Jeffrey, "Tonetta" refers more specifically to his female alter ego.[7] He said that many of his songs are inspired by real life people or incidents[4] and cited John Lennon as his primary influence.[8] Of his music tastes, he said: "I like the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson. I followed soul artists. ... After [Lennon] died, I didn't know who to follow anymore. It was around then I started writing anyway so it kinda worked out."[4] Personal lifeAs of 2011, Jeffrey lived in Toronto, Ontario as a part-time upholsterer. He was previously married to a woman, until 1983, and has two sons.[4] Discography
