Grammy-nominated R&B singer, songwriter, and record producer Jeremih launched his professional career in 2008, collaborating with record producer Mick Schultz before signing with Def Jam Recordings in February 2009 after a successful audition for CEO Russell Simmons and A&R executive Karen Kwak. His debut single, ‘Birthday Sex,’ released in 2009, quickly became a sensation, climbing to number four on the Billboard Hot 100. This success paved the way for his self-titled debut album the same year, which debuted at number six on the Billboard 200. Jeremih continued his early career momentum with the 2010 hit ‘Down on Me’ featuring 50 Cent, which commanded the number-one position on the Rhythmic Billboard chart for an impressive eight consecutive weeks and earned sextuple platinum certification from the RIAA.
That same year, he embarked on his first European concert tour, further expanding his global reach, and released the mixtape Late Nights: Europe. Subsequent EPs included Cinco De MihYo in 2017 and The Chocolate Box in 2018. In 2018, Jeremih formed the dynamic duo MihTy with Ty Dolla Sign, releasing their eponymous collaborative album, MihTy. His sought-after vocals led to features on a string of notable tracks, including Chantel Jeffries’ ‘Chase the Summer’ in 2019, Bryce Vine’s ‘Baby Girl’ remix in 2020, and DJ Khaled’s ‘Thankful’ in 2021.
Jeremih remains a formidable and innovative force in the music industry, recognized for his enduring impact on contemporary R&B and consistent ability to deliver commercially successful and critically acclaimed music.
