After moving to Toronto in 2019 Jeremiah formally developed the program “Healing through music” to aid children with their crisis through the power of music to give them a sense of community again. During this time Jeremiah started working in a larger capacity doing vocal engineering for himself and numerous artists. 

As an Artist, Vocal Engineer and Youth Advocate Jeremiah has been a pillar in his community and has a large presence in the indigenous community as an established artist. Jeremiah musical roots come from listening to Tupac and Nas back in his childhood which greatly influenced his earlier songs like “The Reasons”. Now Jeremiah is in his experimental phase showing the world what he’s capable of with his new tracks like “No Option” and “Hollywood”. 

After moving back to Fort Albany Jeremiah became a frontline community worker on the flood watch transitioning to the pandemic support team. In 2020 Jeremiah enrolled in Algonquin college’s music engineering and business program with the ambitions of taking his recording company 67 records worldwide.

ClovisBeats

Producer

Hi there! My name is Finn. I am 19 years old and live in Amsterdam. When working on music my name is: ClovisBeats. I’ve always had a great love for music while growing up. Micheal Jackson and Eminem were childhood heroes of mine (they still are). During school, music was the one and only thing that really kept me going. Teachers, books and future career plans couldn’t bother me at all. About two years ago, a friend introduced me to FL Studio and it grabbed me right away. My inner fire was lit. Every day after school I would jump on my dad’s laptop and began messing around.  I played my new beats and my friend gave me tips on how to improve. I couldn’t stop anymore. In 2020 I graduated from high school and took a gap year. And that’s when the pandemic hit. I had a lot of time on my hands so I decided to really take producing seriously. I locked myself in my room, in the world of beats, and began a part-time education on producing. I know this is my world. This is what I love, what I want. The satisfaction I get from making my own beats and songs is like nothing else. It is my way of expression. It gives me energy and fuels me in my daily life. That’s why I’m really grateful to be a part of this project! For the future, I hope we can keep working together, and keep doing what we love. Because what’s better than making a living out of your passion? I wouldn’t know…
