Jeremy Jones has been getting around. The LA multi-instrumentalist was just featured as a member of ScHoolboy Q's orchestra in his Travis Scott collaboration, "CHopstix", and was scheduled to play viola with Khalid's at Coachella until production issues cut down the live band.
He's also been making some moves himself, honing his woozy, left-field R&B in preparation for his first mixtape. Yesterday we teamed up with Kevin at Buzzbands to share Intention, the final single off the collection, and one that highlights Jones impressive skill as a producer and engineer, not to mention his star-in-the-making vocal performance. He's got the DIY work ethic of artists like Tyler, the Creator, and the melodic sensibilities of Sampha, or Anderson Paak. But don't let us get carried away, listen to the track and see for yourself.LISTEN TO INTENTION HEREIndiana-bred, LA-based artist and producer Jeremy Jones grew up in a deeply musical community, but one that sounded very different than the radio-ready American R&B of his debut mixtape Late Bloomer. In Jeremy's mother's house mainstream music was forbidden; the devout, Jamaican family instead listened to gospel music and sang in church. Jeremy found his creative outlet in the orchestra, studying viola performance in college, before moving to Los Angeles with his indie rock band. It's been quite the journey.
Late Bloomer is expected May 31st
