Jeremy knows that the world is round, but he doesn't know how many licks it takes to get to the center of it. Rather than spending his time trying to lick the world, he's devoting everything in his soul to creating music. Whether he's writing songs, practicing piano, holing up in his room recording, practicing tabla, pretending he's jimi Hendrix on a keyboard, singing in the shower, or dreaming new songs, Jeremy doesn't let many non-musical moments pass.

He began playing the piano when he was 13 or so. "Strangely, I think the first song I learned on the piano was Stairway to Heaven, not you're typical piano song. But my friend, Jessica, taught it to me and I thought it was cool. From there I started writing songs, not really knowing what I was doing, just going by ear.

I played in a couple bands in high school that mostly did classic rock covers -- a lot of the Doors, I recall." In college Jeremy became interested in Jazz and devoted hours and hours in little practice rooms practicing, learning and writing. "After college, though, I realized that jazz wasn't really most natural for me, and that songwriting was more in my blood. I figured I could still incorporate all that I practiced and learned into the music I wrote.

Jeremy is jealous of guitar players, which is why he chooses to be not just the keyboard player and singer in Blivit, but the lead "guitarist." "There's an expressiveness that I love about guitar that I could never achieve on piano and keys, so I try to imitate some of that... Plus, guitar players rank higher on the socio-musical band hierarchy (at least, according to Frank Zappa)." Translation: guitarists get more googly eyes from women.
