Intro

Jeremy Loops creates a sound that is fundamentally inseparable from the sun and the sea. It is high-definition folk-pop that swaps traditional somberness for an infectious, rhythmic vitality. His music feels like a physical space: bright, open, and teeming with organic life. The foundation is often a simple acoustic melody that quickly evolves into a complex, driving tapestry of sound through his signature use of live looping.

What truly sets him apart is the collision of disparate elements. You will hear a bluesy harmonica riff sitting comfortably atop a beatboxed rhythm, or a delicate ukulele melody reinforced by a thick, hip-hop influenced bassline. It is a 'one-man band' approach that avoids the typical limitations of the format, resulting in songs that feel massive, communal, and celebratory rather than solitary.

For those new to his catalog, 'Trading Change' is the essential starting point. It perfectly captures the transition from his street-performer roots to a polished, world-class songwriter. It is the kind of music that demands to be played loudly during the golden hour, serving as the perfect soundtrack for moments of genuine connection and outdoor adventure.

Jeremy Thomas Hewitt (born March 4, 1984) known by his stage name Jeremy Loops, is a South African singer, songwriter, and record producer. In 2011, Loops released his self-titled EP. His debut album Trading Change was released March 2014 in South Africa. The album was released in North America and South America via Yebo Music in August 2015, and in Europe and Australia in February 2016. He toured the United States as a support slot on Rebelution's "Winter Greens Tour", followed with two headline US tours of his own, The Jeremy Loops US Tour and the Trading Change Tour. He ended 2015 supporting Twenty One Pilots on the European leg of their Blurryface Tour. With three shows remaining, the tour was cancelled following the November 2015 Paris attacks. Loops announced Continental Drift, his first headlining tour of Europe, which took place in January 2016. The Trading Change Tour, his second headlining tour of Europe and his maiden tour of Australia, took place in October and November 2016.
