Jeffrey Osborne Jr. knows what it’s like to inherit a legendary name — and still feel the need to prove you belong.

In this episode of Born to the Game, Jeffrey opens up about growing up as the son of R&B icon Jeffrey Osborne, why he often introduces himself simply as “Jeff,” and the complicated truth about having a famous parent while trying to build an identity and career of your own.

He also gets candid about whether R&B was better in the ’80s and ’90s, why connections can sometimes matter more than talent in today’s music industry, and his journey from college basketball to making music.

From growing up around Lakers games, Magic Johnson and Johnny Gill to discovering his own purpose through self-mastery, fatherhood and creativity, Jeffrey reflects on the lessons his parents gave him and the legacy he wants to pass on to his own children.

He also shares his approach to being a present father, the simple “seven-minute” parenting practice he uses with his kids, his passion for filmmaking and flute-making, and what’s ahead as he prepares to release new music — including “Exposure.”

This is a conversation about identity, pressure, purpose, family and learning how to honor where you come from without letting it define who you become.

Born to the Game is produced by ARCA Media Group in collaboration with Inflection Network and distributed through iHeartMedia.
