Jeremy Loops is a South African singer, songwriter, and record producer whose music defies simple categorization but generally holds to the realms of folk, indie, and loop pedal acoustica. Born as Jeremy Thomas Hewitt on March 4, 1984, in Kommetjie, Cape Town, he adopted the stage name Jeremy Loops as a nod to his use of loop pedals, which he deftly employs to layer various instruments and vocals, creating a richly textured tapestry of sound that has become a signature of his performances.

Before fully diving into his music career, Jeremy worked as a tree planting contractor and environmental activist. His debut album, "Trading Change," not only solidified his musical talents but also brought his eco-conscious mindset into his artistry with songs that touch on sustainability and nature. Loops quickly gained recognition both in South Africa and internationally, earning a reputation for his energetic live shows that seamlessly blend folk, electronic, hip-hop, and traditional African music influences. The list of recent releases, including the feel-good track "Better Together" and the introspective "Mortal Man," speaks to the diversity of his sound and his ability to capture the highs and lows of the human experience with an infectious, melodic hook. Jeremy Loops continues to captivate audiences with his intricate looping skills and broad, appealing soundscapes that make for an engaging and thought-provoking musical experience.
