All Jeremih’s family was keen on music. He was only three years old when he began playing piano and drums, and then also learned how to play saxophone. Well, now it is clear that such an early beginning to Jeremih’s music career was fated to lead to the great Jeremih’s net worth. During school years, Jeremih learned how to play congas and timbales, and was also a member of several school music bands. At 16 he graduated from the school and began studying engineering at the University of Illinois. However, Jeremih soon quit his studies, which probably reveals that Jeremih had no idea in his school years that one day music would be the main source of income towards Jeremih’s net worth.
However, Jeremih actually realized his vocal talent when he appeared in a tribute for Ray Charles, a very talented American singer and composer, at one of the campus`s talent shows. In 2007, he started studying at Columbia College Chicago, seeking a degree in music business. At that time Jeremih’s net worth began growing when he met the famous music producer Mick Schultz, and they started working together, collaborating to produce the single My Ride. His debut album, Jeremih, sold 59,000 copies in its first week. Jeremih states that the artists who had the greatest influence on his music career are such as Michael Jackson, R. Kelly and Stevie Wonder, whose music Jeremih labels as timeless. Jeremih mentioned that he would like to record singles with such singers as Alicia Keys, Adele or Missy Elliott. In one of the singles on his second All About You (2010) album, the rapper Lil Wayne added his verse, too. Jeremih has released a further album, Thumpy Johnson (2014). The albums’ sales boosted Jeremih net worth considerably. There is an upcoming album, No More EP, in collaboration with Shlohmo, an electronic musician from Los Angeles.
