Jeremías

Jeremías was born in London, where his parents were studying, and moved with his family to Venezuela when he was just two-years-old. He grew up moving around some of the country's biggest cities, including Caracas, Maracay, and Puerto Ordaz. At 7, Jeremias started collecting music, while learning to play the guitar.

Literature was his chosen career path with the onslaught of college, but he switched his major halfway through college to Psychology, but finally settled on his life's greatest vocation: music.

He claims that songwriting allows him to fuse the lyricism capabilities he discovered in Literature, with the understanding of the dynamics of human behavior and emotions he delved into while studying psychology.{{Cite web|url=http://www.buenamusica.com/jeremias/biografia|title=Jeremias – Biografía, historia y legado musical {{!}} BuenaMusica.com|last=BuenaMusica.com|website=www.buenamusica.com|access-date=2016-09-23}}

The singer and his girlfriend welcomed their first child, a girl named Sofía, on August 23, 2017.

His career ensued at the age of 23. Dead set on songwriting exclusively, Jeremias began recording demos to show to record label and music executives in the hopes of selling songs. Instead he showcased his vocals so well that they recommended he sing his own songs.

Jeremías launched his singing career in 2002 and promoted most of first singles in Spain, where he made appearances on major television programs like Crónicas marcianas and Música Sí.

In 2003 Jeremias released his self-titled album, Jeremías, which included songs like "La Cita"{{Citation|last=adriana045|title=jeremias la cita.wmv|date=January 14, 2012|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lizjbxvg6s4 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/Lizjbxvg6s4 |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|accessdate=2016-09-23}}{{cbignore}} and "Desde el bar."{{Citation|last=Ceyrali Dominguez|title=Jeremias – Desde el Bar (con letra)|date=April 25, 2008|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdJFHr7o2Ac&index=6&list=PLTbs6cHaoO4B08hgrNXRsAO9hXwJu8dr1 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211221/SdJFHr7o2Ac |archive-date=2021-12-21 |url-status=live|accessdate=2016-09-23}}{{cbignore}} The songs became top-charting hits and transcended to successful performances and appearances.
