Biography
Music Olympus is not the place that simply climb: the merciless world of show business opens the doors not to all talented singers. Raper Jeremih, for example, at the beginning of the way, put all the efforts and creative to earn the attention of the listeners. Now his albums are flying out by millions of circulation, and the stadiums cannot accommodate all fans.Childhood and youth
Jeremy P. Felton (Jeremy P. Felton) was born on July 17, 1987 in Chicago, Illinois. The biography of Felton, unlike many rappers, you will not call tragic: the boy brought up in a full family, carefully studied music under the sensitive "leadership" of his idols - Michael Jackson, Ray Charles and Stevie Wander. Already at 3 years, he began to master the drums and other percussion instruments, a saxophone and piano.
In school, Felton consisted in the Latin American jazz team, where he learned how to play national instruments - Kong and Timbal. By the way, the hobby did not influence the performance of Jeremy: the young man honored academic awards and released a year earlier.
The next milestone of the formation of the future star of Charts was the College of Engineering Illinois University in Urbana-Champane. A year later, Jeremy realized that his future was in music, and moved to Columbia University in Chicago to master the profession of sound engineer. Once on the student show of Talent, Felton performed the song of Ray Charles. He received dozens of compliments to their vocal data and since then decided to become a singer.
Personal life
Jeremih prefers her personal life not to make public the public: if he has a girl or wife, the tabloids do not tell about it. Probably, while Rapper enjoys freedom, leads fleeting novels or completely given only one muse.Music
Back in the student years, Jeremy Felton collaborated with the producer Mick Schulz. With him and under the guidance of her cousin, a member of the team of Day26 Willie Taylor, Jeremih recorded the song My Ride. This experience helped Felton to appear in front of the producers of major recording companies - Russell Simmons from DEF Jam and Karen Kwab from A & R - in the advantageous light in February 2009. Immediately after listening to Jeremih signed a contract with DEF JAM.

In the promotion of the record, the young artist helped Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Soulja Boy.
Jeremih music accounted for many, but not everyone. In August 2009, the leadership of the Chicago State School invited Rapper to a dialogue with students who refused to receive knowledge and often strolled lessons.
Many parents responded to the meeting, considering the jeremih tracks unacceptable for schoolchildren, as those "promote teenage sex." In turn, the school principal noted that in the modern world, the artists were given freedom of speech. In addition, Jeremih was an exemplary student, an excellent student. His example is better than many motivating children to learn lessons.
To record the 2nd album All About You (2010) Raper collaborated with such famous authors and performers as Ludacris and 50 Cent. Singles and clips with their participation I Like and DOWN on ME did not fall below the 3rd place in the charts, which provided the plate success and a gold certificate (more than 500 thousand copies in the USA).
