Jeremiah Yoko

Unlike most people, Jeremiah Yoko, born Jeremiah Schofield, knew what he wanted to do with his life from the beginning. “I always wanted to be an artist,” he says. He was writing original songs back in his hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, before he was tall enough to ride the roller coasters at Busch Gardens.
Once, when he was just eight years old, he called his family into the living room for his first show. “I remember hiding behind the couch and then standing up and performing this song me and my brother wrote,” Jeremiah recalls. The excitement he felt at that moment let him know that music was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life.
