Very easy to be inspired when something hits you somewhere deep :]

We'll get everyone bit by the Jeff bug soon enough! Excited to read his next adventures 🦈

Because of the 3 min limit here I can't have the whole video in one go, so check out the entire thing on YT (bonus cat pics there!)

I hear so much potential with his main theme and unique C major + F# major harmony so this is just one example of what could be done with it!

And in case you didn't catch my main theme for Jeff 🦈⬇️

I wrote a theme song for Jeff the Land Shark 🦈

This is what happens when a musician plays a bit too much Jeff in Marvel Rivals

With Jeff being surprised to see the cat I had his "walking" theme interrupted by the cat's theme. And with the appearance of the kittens I gave each one a little gesture on solo strings 🐈🐈🐈

Finally it ends with Jeff's main theme over cat theme's harmony and an "It's Jeff!" slide down on brass

I tried to really bring out some moments like giving the cat their own theme when they appear and digging into Jeff's MRRRRRR!!!!

But I also took some creative liberties like giving Jeff a little tummy rumble in the beginning

Thank you! Seeing so many people call him that is actually what inspired the lyrics, nobody messes with our bestest boy

I almost spit out my food when I saw your name — thank YOU Kelly!! Nothing has got me quite into comics like Jeff has and that’s a testament to you, Daniele and Gurihiru. They’re so lovely and wholesome. Glad you liked the music, really means so much for you to say that

hey thanks so much!! it started off as a little idea and then it just snowballed into getting all the live musicians haha was good fun
July 18, 2025 at 5:04 PM
It's a dream of mine to write some official music for Jeff so just putting this out into the world :] Thanks for listening!

So many people involved to make this happen and I'm grateful to each and every one of them. Shelby Harvey on lead vocals, the FAME'S orchestra, my friend Angel Mannion for organizing the choir
