Jeremy Worker is a 27 year old self proclaimed renaissance man, born and raised in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington D.C. At the age of 16, his love for singing, and winning personality, took him on a whirlwind ride to New York City and eventually Hollywood with American Idol. The experience opened his eyes to new worlds to thrive in which eventually led him to pursue his dreams to explore life outside of suburbia, and move to New York City at the age of 19. Landing a job on Wall Street with JPMorgan Chase to fund his new adventure continued to broaden his horizons and create new opportunities to pursue. Through his connections in the finance world, he was taken under the wing of several mentors, including Italian contemporary artist; Bettina Werner, who exposed him to high end art dealing, and PR guru Priscilla Monteiro; who led him into the worlds of fashion, public relations, corporate sponsorships, and brand development.

 

     Coming from humble beginnings, and with his career catapulting at such a young age, he had a difficult time witnessing the separation of wealth that was so evident in the new worlds exposed to him. He took his deep longing for spiritual fulfillment and desire to help rectify the injustices unveiled on new paths. He found a job at a yoga studio at 23 where he worked and studied in holistic methodologies, various forms of yoga, Ayurveda, astrology, and food activism. His new skills led him to various international projects in Africa and Europe where he worked on documentaries, music, and activist projects that dealt with race, food activism, and LGBT rights. He wound up landing at an artist residence in Amsterdam for a year with an activist organization called Theatre for the Free People, where he came full circle back to his music and is currently pursuing his creative interests. Jeremy is continuing his journey in the foot steps of his heroes Dr. Maya Angelou, Oprah, and James Baldwin, and hopes to continue using his skills and passion to impact the world and fight injustice.
