- Gregg DeGuire)Jelly Roll's real name is Jason Bradley DeFord. He is a musician from Nashville, Tennessee, who grew up in a suburb of Music City. As a teenager, he began a career as a rapper in the early '00s, playing local venues and selling CDs out of the trunk of his car. At the same time, he found himself in and out of prison, after getting in trouble with the law on multiple occasions.
Over the years, Jelly Roll has worked with other rappers such as Yelawolf, Lil Wyte, Tech N9ne, and Struggle Jennings. While he's incorporated country into his sound many times over the years, it wasn't until his most recent album, Whitsitt Chapel, that Jelly Roll fully embraced being a country music star.
Bailee Ann is Jelly Roll's daughter from his relationship with a woman named Felicia, who they revealed in the Save Me documentary has had struggles with sobriety. According to PEOPLE, Jelly Roll does not talk much about the mother of Noah, 7, though he has shared photos of the young boy on occasion.
While Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO do not share any biological children, they recently revealed that they are discussing and planning to possibly have a child within the next couple of years.
