Born in Dubai to a family of Indian origin, Jeremie started performing at the age of 13 for various events and theatre shows for a wide range of audiences, including The Royal Family. He was the winner of the first Best Of The Best national singing competition in UAE that further pushed his career as a musician in Dubai. At age 16, he was introduced to SONKO, a music producer based in Berlin. Together they created songs that caught the attention of BBC in London, UK who invited Jeremie to take part in the finals of The Next Big Thing representing his hometown - Dubai. Since BBC, Jeremie has been residing in Toronto, Canada where he has been collaborating with various organizations to plan events around themes of diversity and violence prevention. As an individual who is part of the LGBTQ+ community he understands the unique oppression and issues they face in the region he is from. With the mission to give a voice to this community at large, Jeremie and SONKO are currently working on a special project set to release in early 2019.

Lyrics:
Pretty pretty beaming lights
Mighty mighty what a sight
Standing on dreams and tears, who has raised you to the heights
To you I’m very very small
Was trapped within your moral walls
All the noble lies and trials were placed to make me fall
Glitzy city on the seaside
Shiny like a blood dripped throne in a rich man’s home
Glitzy city on the seaside
Hailing at the world you’re gonna make them feel at home
I’m a fighter
Now I’m higher
Gotta be like Latifa, fight like Latifa
When my world burns I’ll go go go
Do you hear me?
Wanna run free
Gotta be like Latifa, fight like Latifa
When the world burns I’ll go go go
You can bend me till I break
Dim my light and close the gate
Who I love and lay with is not up for debate
Every time I hit a wall
Every time I crash and fall
In the holy name you pry and stand over me tall
Glitzy city on the seaside
Shiny like a blood dripped throne in a rich man’s home
I’m a fighter
Now I’m higher
Gotta be like Latifa, fight like Latifa
When my world burns I’ll go go go
Do you hear me?
Wanna run free
Gotta be like Latifa, fight like Latifa
When the world burns I’ll go go go
