personality
Jeremy can be described as a passionate man with very strong opinions, brought forth from an unfortunate childhood riddled with bullying and difficult family situations. But behind those sunglasses lies a loyal and caring man who wants nothing more than to keep singing and expressing himself with his love for music and his bandmates.
When he isn't sharing his strong opinions on social media, Jeremy is a laid-back guy who enjoys a nice cold beer with the fellas and talk about his favorite bands. Despite his strong stance on most things, he means well in the end and does not let any arguments or discussions get the better of him. Any sort of stance comes from a honest place of passion. Although he can be a bit insecure and bitter at times, his friends and family help keep him grounded.

history
Jeremy grew up with a single mother and little brother. His father died of cancer when he was very young. Him and his sibling went to a very poorly funded public school, which did not have a great track record with the students. Unfortunately, Jeremy was subjected to bullying by the others for being one of the only kids who stood out amongst the rest of the A4 people. His musical tastes and hobbies were especially mocked. Even the overworked teachers were hesitant around him due to the "evil satanic music" he listened to. This resulted in him becoming very reserved, angry and bitter. He would never share anything with anyone, and spent most of hims time to himself. For a long time, Jeremy had little to no friends.
His only saving grace was listening to his black metal cassette tapes he would scout at the local flea markets next to his hometown. He also had a couple of pen pals who he traded with, making him grow a very nice collection very early on. His recesses were spent taking a crappy boom box with him to this abandoned warehouse behind the school, listen to the music, and write letters. One day, this guy named Urmek moved to his school, and the minute he saw another kid wearing a Venom t-shirt, it was love at first sight. He HAD to get to know him.
After having pestered Urmek a little bit the first couple of days, they quickly bonded over their shared love for metal music. He was the first kid ever who embraced Jeremy's interests and tastes. Urmek was already playing guitar at the time, and he showed Jeremy how to do it. They both talked extensivly about wanting to start their own band, how angry they were at everything, and how they were gonna let the world know. And thus, just like that, the band Brokt was born. They would spend each recess sharing records and cassettes with each other, getting better at the guitar and practice singing, before they would eventually meet H.J and Jonne. The old warehouse became their little hideout and eventual first rehearsal place.
Now a days outside of Brokt, he plays for his girlfriend's blackgaze band, "The Silver Thread." He has kept in touch with some of his pen pals from his childhood and still occasionally indulges with tape trading when he has the time.
