It might be surprising for some to hear that a lot of the most talented musicians never really get around to writing, let alone releasing, their own music.
Why is that?
Before I got involved with 'ohana, whenever anybody asked me if I was a musician I would tell them "yeah, but I'm way too good of a producer to ever hire me as a musician", and I still think of myself as a producer more than as an artist. "Producing" can mean all different kinds of things, and it should mean all different kinds of things, depending on the artist and the project you're producing. But it always has to mean at least two things: first, that you're trying to see clearly what this artist is trying to do right now (even while they're still discovering it themselves), and second, that you're responsible for getting it done ---- for making sure that they can finish it the way they hoped to when they started it.

D. Jeremy's video shoot for his hit single, "Loser (The PhazelFOZ Edit)" took place at Enclave in Chicago, IL on Nov. 6, 2008. The video stars Ty Bentli of 103.5 Kiss FM and many of his listeners! After talking on-air about the shoot, we decided to invite Chicago to be part of it. The original track got it start on Ty's show to help him with one of his hot topics. It was an amazing success! The final product is coming soon. Stay tuned here and on the official D. Jeremy website (djeremymusic.com) for updates and the big release!
