Bio

Jeremy knows that the world is round, but he doesn't know how many licks it takes to get to the center of it. Rather than spending his time trying to lick the world, he's devoting everything in his soul to creating music. Whether he's writing songs, practicing piano, holing up in his room recording, playing tabla, pretending he's jimi Hendrix on a keyboard, singing in the shower, or dreaming new songs, Jeremy doesn't let many non-musical moments pass.


Jeremy started playing piano 20 years ago. At college, he delved into jazz piano studies and began to develop his eclectic style, composing and performing in progressive rock bands, jazz groups, performance art and salsa groups. What started as a simple interest in making up songs and teaching himself how to play has turned into a love for performing, learning and creating music in various genres. That love has enabled him to travel worldwide and to record and perform with some highly acclaimed artists.


He recorded on John Legend’s Grammy award winning cd, Get Lifted, he has performed with G-Love and Digable Planets, and tabla/percussion master Zakir Hussain. With former award winning touring band Fathead, he shared the stage with numerous national acts including Green Day, Maceo Parker, Ben Harper, Weezer and George Clinton to name a few, and has recorded and collaborated with Grammy award winning producer, David Ivory (The Roots, Erykah Badu).

Currently Jeremy lives with his wife Madhavi in Philadelphia, PA, where he is involved in various projects, including various solo efforts under the name Jeremy Dyen presents... He also is creating music for use in film, dance and/or commercial licensing for LivinDyen Music, BMI.
