Musician Jeremy Wilms’ career has brought him into the orbits and albums of artists such as Chico Hamilton, Bebel Gilberto, Beyonce, Run the Jewels and Patti Labelle.

Jeremy made a seemingly temporary move back to Atlanta during the pandemic, after more than 20 years spent in New York City. The Atlanta native return was meant to be only for a short while, but now he’s back to stay!

In Atlanta, he continues to score films, support countless other musicians as a session musician and teaches music to a range of students.

His new album, entitled “The Fighter”, features a stripped-down sound, focusing mostly on his storytelling abilities. Willis will be performing at the Atlanta Soto Zen Center, on Jan. 26 at 7 p.m.
