Jeremy Zucker

Originally from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Zucker was raised in a musical household with his parents and two older brothers. While a student at Ramapo High School, he began making music in his bedroom and later became part of a band called the “Foreshadows”. After graduating high school, he attended Colorado College where he graduated in 2018 with a degree in molecular biology.[2][3] Before producing his own music, he told Billboard in an interview that his first job was a snowboard instructor at a ski mountain (later becoming a skiing instructor).[4]

In 2015, Zucker released "Beach Island". This EP is the oldest musical record Zucker has up on his platforms. He released his second studio EP "Breathe",[5] containing breakthrough hit "‘Bout It" in December 2016. In 2017, Zucker released his EP "Motions", featuring the song "Heavy", which later the recording artist blackbear remixed into "Make Daddy Proud", and included on his own LP Digital Druglord five months later.[6] Zucker and blackbear later collaborated on the single "talk is overrated" on Zucker's EP "idle", released in 2017. Zucker released the EP "stripped." in February 2018, then the EP titled "glisten", in May 2018. In September 2018, Zucker released the EP "summer", which contains Zucker's well known song "comethru". "comethru" is a response to the way Zucker felt after graduating college in May 2018 and moving back home to New Jersey into the same house where Zucker grew up. This song has since gone on to be streamed over 800 million times across all platforms.[7] Also featured on the EP is “thinking 2 much”, a collaboration with singer Eden. In 2019, Zucker collaborated with friend and fellow singer-songwriter, Chelsea Cutler, to release a song called, "you were good to me." This song was the leading single prior to the release of their first collaborative EP titled "brent" which released on April 19th, 2019. Prior to this collaboration, Zucker had worked with Cutler once before on a song titled "better off" which was released with his EP "glisten" and was met with some success.

On July 26th, 2019, Zucker released "oh, mexico", which would later be the lead single for his debut album "love is not dying". The second single, "always, i'll care", was released on February 7, 2020. A music video for the song was released the same day.[8] The third single off the album, "not ur friend", was released on February 28, 2020. The fourth single, "julia" was released March 24, 2020. "love is not dying" was released on April 17, 2020.[9] The album is an autobiographical collection of songs that were recorded in Brooklyn during the second half of 2019. Zucker had a tour for this album planned under the same name "love is not dying tour" but it was sadly canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [10] On July 24, 2020, Zucker released his single "supercuts". Before 2021, he released with Claire Rosinkranz a new version of her song "Backyard Boy",[11] and "Nothing's The Same"[12] with Alexander 23.

On January 15, 2021, Zucker and Chelsea Cutler released their song "this is how you fall in love"[13] from their second EP. Zucker and Cutler performed on a livestream show called "brent: live on the internet",[14] where they will introduce "brent ii" and unite again for some songs of "brent". On February 5, 2021, he released his latest EP with Chelsea Cutler titled "brent ii", consisting of 5 songs and serving as a sequel to their first EP together "brent".[15] brent ii consists of the songs "this is how you fall in love", "parent song", "emily", "brooklyn boy" and "the stars".[16]

Zucker has cited Blink-182, Jon Bellion, blackbear, Eden, Bon Iver, Mac Miller, and Wet as some of his musical influences.[18]

His music is described as "a fusion of organic airy beats, lush soundtrack-style soundscapes, and biting tumblr-worthy lyricism". Zucker describes himself as a "social introvert”.[19]
