Jeremih

Jeremih is, for my money, a late-night artist in the best sense. From Chicago and educated at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, he turned a 2008 meeting with producer Mick Schultz into a Def Jam deal and a signature lane in modern R&B. That airy falsetto and his command of slow-burn bedroom atmospherics are the real deal, and the fact that he writes and produces too marks him as more than just a voice. I am drawn to artists who let the music do the talking rather than the gossip columns, and Jeremih has always seemed content to live in the song itself.

Jeremy Phillip Felton (born July 17, 1987), known professionally as Jeremih ( JERR-əm-eye), is an American R&B recording artist. He embarked on a musical career after meeting record producer Mick Schultz in 2008, and signed a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings the following year.
