Some people are just born with music in their DNA; a spiritual tie to sound that transcends genres. Twenty-eight year-old JL, (Born, Jeremi Lam,) is one of those rare talents, whose music constantly pushes boundaries and blazes a trail for modern R&B, Hip Hop and Pop music.
 
Born and raised in Hollis Queens, home to many greats, including Run DMC, JL has always had a profound connection to music; it was his escape to a world where anything is possible. In his youth, he found himself fascinated with the way his uncle would effortlessly freestyle and knew then, that he wanted to pursue music. JL decided, at the young age of twelve, that he would become a composer, the first time he ever visited a music studio. The sound, the energy… his future was sealed the second he stepped foot in that room.
 
JL has drawn inspiration from many influential artists throughout the years, such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Aaliyah, Linkin Park and Eminem. His eclectic musical taste lends heavily to his distinct, diverse “JL sound.” Since he immerses himself in all aspects of the songwriting and producing process, JL is able to channel raw emotion through the music he creates and then refine it, utilizing his finely tuned production skills. This yields a unique and powerful finished product that has become a fast favorite amongst several famous music artists.
 
In 2013, JL released his first mixtape titled. “Already the Mixtape” under the alias, “Nemesis.” This was a rap project. Although he was pleased with the tape, he knew he wanted to diversify his music. He began singing and revamping his image as an artist, changing his name to JL. As far as plans for the future, JL is focused on growing as an artist and creating music that can inspire people the way he was growing up. He wants to be able to change lives through music he loves to create, and provide a listening experience that will evoke emotion and creativity in his listeners. JL has been working nonstop on the three projects he currently has in production, including “Already the Mixtape 2 (Growth),” and “Already the Album,” which are scheduled to release in 2017.
