Jeff Bell is a multi-talented entertainer and author with a career spanning over three decades. Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Jeff began his journey in the entertainment industry at a young age. He started performing in talent shows and quickly developed a passion for singing, dancing, acting, and modeling.
In his teenage years, Jeff’s talents led him to various opportunities in the entertainment world. He appeared in local TV commercials, showcased his dancing skills on a weekly TV dance show, and even had a memorable spot on the popular TV show Unsolved Mysteries, where he participated in a reenactment of a Bigfoot encounter.
After high school, Jeff made the decision to serve his country and joined the Navy. During his service, he studied military battle tactics, which would later prove useful in his DJ career. It was during his second enlistment in the Navy that he discovered his talent for DJing. At a party, he caught the attention of Paul DeLand, a prominent figure in the industry who would become Jeff’s mentor, business partner, and friend.
In the spring of 1997, Jeff embarked on his professional DJing career, incorporating his years of experience in singing and dancing into his performances. Together with Paul, he developed an interactive approach to DJing that set him apart from the competition. As he gained recognition in Jacksonville, Florida, Jeff began expanding his network and exploring other avenues in the entertainment world.
His involvement in a locally produced pilot led to an opportunity to host and produce his own TV show, “Club @ccess,” which enjoyed success in Jacksonville and even resulted in Jeff being sent to Los Angeles to produce a pilot for a national network. Although the show wasn’t picked up, Jeff’s determination led him to remain in LA, where he worked as a casting director for TV shows and music videos, providing talent for renowned artists like Missy Elliot and 50 Cent.
However, a series of unfortunate experiences with motor vehicles cut short his time in LA, and Jeff returned to Jacksonville with renewed determination. His reputation as a talented MC and party host grew, leading to various opportunities such as hosting events for Hooters and becoming a boxing promoter, car show host, and field MC for an Arena Football team.

Beyond his professional accomplishments, Jeff remains grounded and grateful for the support of his wife, who has played an instrumental role in his personal and professional growth. He embraces his role as a natural-born entertainer, drawing inspiration from his family’s connection to Buffalo Bill Cody, one of America’s most famous traveling vaudevillians.
