Jeremiah (born James Connor) is an inspirational American soul and R&B singer/songwriter, instrumentalist, producer and performer who is certainly following in the footsteps of America’s great Marvin Gaye.  With a background in jazz, gospel and hip-hop, Jeremiah’s sound is appreciated by young and old.
Born in Long Beach, California, Jeremiah moved to Seattle, Washington where he was raised.  He has lived all over the country and internationally, including Los Angeles, Boston and Osaka, Japan where he currently resides.  Jeremiah was brought up in the Catholic tradition and his spirituality resonates from his smooth sound.  Singing in the church choir, Jeremiah got his first taste of the musical world and at age 7 was given an old upright piano, which he learned among other instruments including the cello, French horn, trumpet and the trombone.
With a desire to continue his education, Jeremiah left Seattle in 1995 to enroll at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts.  In 2000, he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in music education.  After graduation, Jeremiah decided to move to Los Angeles in hopes of pursuing his musical dreams.  In Los Angeles, Jeremiah taught music at an elementary school. However, the desire to perform his music was too strong a force to keep him there long.  In December 2003, Jeremiah was hired to sing background on tour with R&B singers Kenny Lattimore and Chante Moore in a musical review of their debut duet record, “Things that Lover’s Do”.
Since then, Jeremiah has climbed the ladder in the music industry and in 2003-2004 performed with a six-month contract at Universal Studios in Osaka where he currently works.  In 2006, he appeared on an episode of  “Big Break,” a variety talent contest.  In March 2007, Jeremiah recorded his first EP entitled “Love Notes” with Loren Weisman of Protectomatic Music.
