Jeffrey Scott Buckley, born Scott Moorhead on November 17, 1966, was an American singer, composer, and guitarist. Buckley rose to notoriety in the early 1990s by singing cover songs at East Village and Manhattan clubs like Sin-é, finally moving his focus to his own material after a decade of working as a studio guitarist in Los Angeles.

Buckley shared a room with actress Brooke Smith from 1990 to 1991. Buckley met artist Rebecca Moore in April 1991 during a tribute concert to his father, Tim Buckley, and the two dated until 1993.

This affair inspired his album Grace and eventually led to his migration to New York. From 1994 to 1995, Buckley was in a relationship with Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins.

They worked together on the song “All Flowers in Time Bend Towards the Sun,” which was never released. Buckley began dating musician Joan Wasser in 1994. He supposedly proposed to her just before he died.
