Jeremy Passion Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

Known for his soulful, melodic voice, singer/songwriter Jeremy Passion delivers his music with a message on love, life, and faith. Born and raised in San Francisco, he grew up with an immense appreciation and love for music. In fact, he taught himself to play piano at the age of four and at fifteen started songwriting. By the following year he taught himself how to play guitar, and developed his talents into his signature style today. Considered a “YouTube Sensation” to his fans and musical peers, he is acknowledged as a pioneer of the acoustic R&B /soul movement on the internet. Passion was one of the first Asian-Americans to go viral online with his famous original songs “Lemonade” and “Well Done,” and his acoustic covers of “So Sick” and “Cater 2 U” featuring Melvin. His subscriber base has exceeded 170,000 followers and has over 26 million channel views. Passion is well versed in travel as he has toured across North America and internationally in more than a dozen countries. He has performed with artists including Colbie Caillat, Kirk Franklin, Bobby Valentino, Jo Koy, Ernie Halter, Alain Clark, and Goapele among others. In addition to his writing and vocal talents, he is also an up and coming producer, creating tracks for Taboo (Black Eyed Peas), Slim (112), Megan Rochelle & more. Aside from his love for music, Passion has a heart for people. After doing volunteer work in Ghana in 2007, he was inspired to initiate the Empty Suitcase Project in Tanzania: a music and art project that believes in providing kids with an opportunity to find their own creative passions.

He says, “As artists, we carry some type of leadership. It's a wonderful thing to be heard, but it's also a responsibility." Passion feels that although popular music sounds good, it lacks in substance and believes that the music industry needs more positive role models which is where his slogan, "Music With A Message" derives from. In late 2011, Jeremy Passion teamed up with producer Jesse Barrera (Formerly from San Diego based band, My American Heart) and independently released his first full-length album "For More Than a Feeling” that reached as high as #4 in the R&B/Soul Charts on iTunes and a concept EP which reached the #9 spot on the R&B/Soul Charts entitled “Pixelated” dedicated to people in long- distance relationships.
