An artist with an ability to merge biblical principles with real life experiences, Johns Island, SC native Jeremiah Bligen is committed to producing conviction-filled content that encourages hope, faith, love and devotion.
Inspired by the sounds of hip-hop, rock, R&B, gospel and spirituals (that his grandfather would sing at the shout hall on Sunday afternoons) – Jeremiah leverages rapping, singing, songwriting and music production to push conventional boundaries; creating a sound that is truly his own.
Bligen states, “I create authentically and freely, without respect for musical boundaries or topical restraints. I don’t make what I think others want to hear. Instead, I strive to produce from my soul – songs that represent who I am; who I love, what I love, where I’m from, where I am and what I believe – creating as I hear, feel, think, learn and live.”
In August 2012, Jeremiah released his well-received first mixtape/promo album “Before I Wake”, which landed him on Rapzilla.com’s top freshman of 2013 list. Bligen continued with the release of his debut retail album “When Ravens Cry” (December 2015), “Fighting Stance EP” (October 2018) and Inventory (March 2020, group album with NFTRY); the latter in which spawned the single and music video “Wake” – the 1st place winner of the 2020 Engage Art International Contest (music video category).
Driven by a desire to serve others and a passion for music, Jeremiah has partnered with other artists, acting as project manager, graphic designer and executive producer. Now residing in North Carolina with his family, he remains dedicated to sharing his testimony and hope with others through community service and music for years to come.
