(before we get into it though, you’re probably wondering. It’s pronounced Jay-Dubs.)
I was born Jeremy Winston on the last Chicago summer day in ‘87. My mother put a microphone in my hand at a very early age in our living room in Reston, Virginia. You could catch me reciting the lyrics to Onyx’s “Slam” and asking my little brother to “warm it up, Chris!” as if we were members of Kriss Kross. My first musical memories coincide with hip-hop but I fell in love with the piano a few years later. From video game soundtracks to top 40 hits, anything I listened to I tried to emulate on an old Yamaha keyboard.
Through the years I became overbooked with musical endeavors. In high school I played church services, marched in the band, sung madrigals and made beats on the side. When I got to college I focused heavily on A Cappella music and recording engineering (and rapping at parties for fun, duh). Fresh out of school I taught at a pop music school and DJed weddings before moving to New York City where I sang in cover bands, spun at bars and lounges and accompanied early childhood music classes on drums and guitar in very mediocre fashion. After a three year stint in the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, I was sick of feeling the more of the concrete and less of the dreams. So I came back to VA with a mission: Original music.
JDVBBS was born out of an amalgamation of all of my previous musical lives. I’ve gathered all of my knowledge, talent and inspiration to bring forth something maybe not brand new, but definitely refurbished, at the least. I want to redesign how elements of music fit together in order to create a sound that’s fresh. I want to invoke familiar feelings and moods in a way you’ve never felt them before. But most importantly, music is subjective. I’m my biggest fan as well as my harshest critic. Here’s to hoping that you lean toward the former and not the latter.
