Before he became one of country music\u2019s most beloved stars, Jelly Roll \u2014 born Jason DeFord in Antioch, Tennessee \u2014 lived a life marked by addiction, incarceration, and struggle. He began selling drugs as a teen and spent nearly a decade in and out of jail. Behind bars, he found music \u2014 and a reason to hope.<\/p>\n

Fast forward to 2025: Jelly Roll is channeling his hard-won redemption into a new mission \u2014 transforming part of his Tennessee property into a mental health and addiction recovery center called \u201cThe Field of Grace.\u201d \u201cI believe in the healing power of music,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I want to do more than sing about it \u2014 I want to help people live through it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The center will offer therapy, community programs, and a small recording studio where residents can share their stories through music. Partnering with local charities and recovery specialists, Jelly Roll hopes it will become \u201ca refuge for those who need a way out.\u201d He says the idea came during a quiet night on the farm that changed his own life. \u201cNow it\u2019s time it changes someone else\u2019s.\u201dFans have called the project his true legacy. Jelly Roll insists it\u2019s not for publicity: \u201cIf one kid doesn\u2019t pick up a needle because of this, every brick is worth it.\u201d Once trapped behind bars, he\u2019s now building bridges \u2014 proving that redemption isn\u2019t just sung about, it\u2019s lived.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
