Jeremy Jay was born in the San Diego suburb of Chula Vista in Southern California. His family later moved to Los Angeles. At the start of elementary school, they moved 5 hours north to Monterey, California.

Early on, when Jeremy was 14 he started playing in high school bands with schoolmates performing to packed venues in the area. Having seen her sons devotion to music, his mother had bought him an eight track reel to reel recorder that Jeremy made recordings on in a studio that he made in the garage.

When Jeremy was 18 he moved to Portland, Oregon, where he would later meet
Calvin Johnson , the singer of the 1980’s/90’s band Beat Happening from Olympia, Washington, and founder of K records, which later on released Jeremy’s records:
Airwalker EP in 2007; A Place Where we Could Go LP in 2008; and Slow Dance LP, in 2009.

Jeremy Jay currently lives in Los Angeles and loves photography, painting and writing.

The 7” single, Breaking the Ice, from the K LP, Slow Dance, is slated for release on K and is currently preparing to go on a UK/European and American tour
starting September 10th - November 15th.

the love everlasting ep is very nice indeed, think i'm going to go on a mission to hear his entire catalogue. everything i've heard so far i've been hugely impressed with. "heavenly creatures" is my favourite song of his, some beautiful lyrics.

Spaceirelei, not sure what you're talking about, but California and New York have earned their reputations. There's just a staggering amount of good music that's come from both of those states. If you added the two of them together, they might even rival England in that regard.

This convinces me that the only way to be popular is to be from California or New York. I've seen this band twice, and I have all their records...not that it matters. Its all hipster hype Still it is better than most of what Pitchfork thinks is cool.

Jeremy has a great cover of Suicide's 'Ghost Rider' and Eno's 'Baby's on Fire' in the K Records studio vaults, I hope they get released, not sure if or when they will!

I think the people who tag him as twee pop don't know what twee pop is :) well I saw him live yesterday and thought that he was trying really hard to sing like morissey sometimes... when he wasn't busy telling the band they should go for a Franz Ferdinand sound. haha. weird. I still enjoyed it though I just didn't really find it that interesting.
