I AM GOING TO BE TLAKING IN 3RD PERSON SO .In 2007, Jeremih began working towards a music business degree at Columbia College. He also started participating in the schools talent shows. In order to differentiate himself from the masses of aspiring rappers, Jeremih started to sing. After developing a reputation as a talented crooner on campus, Jeremih began collaborating with another one of Columbias musically inclined students named Mick. He was studying engineering and he knew how to use protools, says Jeremih.
Soon Mick and Jeremih spent all of their free time laying down new music in Micks homemade studio. They recorded a demo in 2008 and got the idea to bring it to Power 92, their local radio station in Chicago. Their first song to hit the airwaves was the catchy car-centric song called My Ride which first played on the stations local radio hour. But the song they recorded next would become their golden ticket, Birthday Sex. Power 92s music director Bam fell in love with the sultry track and added it into the stations regular rotation.
That very next week, on October 30, 2008, I was in my car listening to the radio and next thing I knew, Birthday Sex came on, remembers Jeremih. They were like, Man, this is the new kid on the block, Chi-towns own Jeremih! They played it back to back like it was a new R. Kelly song.
In February of 2009 Jeremih flew to New York City, to perform in front of Island Def Jam President LA Reid. L.A. was so blown away by the budding superstars live performance and wide-ranging sound, he quickly made him part of the notorious labels roster. I feel like I can hang with these artists at Def Jam, says Jeremih.
Now the young soul singer is getting ready to release his self-titled debut album that he describes as Urban pop. Produced entirely by his producer Mick, Jeremihs debut album blurs the traditional lines of musical genres. Tyra Banks fierce swagger was his inspiration for the sonic stylings of Runway where he sings about captivating women who work the catwalk. Jeremih cranks up the energy on the up-tempo Jumpin that will have clubs rocking nationwide.
On My Sunshine Jeremih finds light on a gloomy day in the company of his loved ones. Then on Starting All Over the multi-talented songwriter channels Stevie Wonders classic soul by crafting a song about new love. Sometimes one of the hardest things to do in a relationship is to start over, says Jeremih. You really have to get to know this new girl and her brand new lips, or brand new scent. I feel like its one of the timeless records off the album that can be played 20 or 30 years from now.
Even with his debut album mixed, mastered and ready to be released to the masses, Jeremih is still hard at work in the studio exercising his gift for making music. I have no boundaries, he says. It excites me to see what there is to come. Im a writer, Im a singer, Im a producer, and I can play instruments. I feel like thats what sets me apart from all the other artists out there.
