What’s up y’all, Jeremy here!
A bold & magnetic performer giving my art to this world by way of LA.
I am a Southeastern Ohio native who has traveled most of the country and a fair bit of the world. I came to Los Angeles after eight incredible, formative years in New York City, where I found myself performing Off-Broadway, on TV, in music videos, on stages small and GIGANTIC, especially in the vibrant, talent-packed queer nightlife scene. I’m university-trained in all things Musical Theatre, and on top of that, I have a deep passion for Commercial Dance, both realms of which I have been working in and continually pursuing for 15 years.

Here in LA, I am commercially represented by Aqua Talent. I have studied On-Camera Technique with the inimitable Shari Shaw. I frequently take class at any of the various major commercial dance studios, mostly focusing on Commercial Jazz and Hip Hop. I moonlight as a bartender and the occasional gogo dancer still. The adjustment from NYC to LA is as real as everyone says it is, but I’m really enjoying my time here so far. I came out here to switch things up, regain some focus and perspective, and I 100% feel I’ve been achieving that. I can feel big things on the horizon, so I’m really excited to just keep doing the damn thing and have tons of fun on the ride!

On my journey, I like to focus on expelling unnecessary negativity from my day-to-day thoughts, words, and actions. We have such a short time here to be focused on things that don't produce positivity and support for each other. I want to use my crafts to create positivity, connect with people, and alleviate their minds and souls, if even for a moment. A moment can be all someone needs, and if I can provide that, that's all I need.

"We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?...
...as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Marianne Williamson
Keep shining,
