Jeremy's Journal

One of the symptoms of making art: Often people acknowledge artists when their talent is expressed, but the mind and humanity of an artist often go unnoticed/unappreciated. This is an understandable notion; it is not expected of those who appreciate art to get to know their author(s). Yet still, I often feel this desire to express my mind and feel heard, beyond these creations.

That being said, I believe it's equally important to be able to intentionally listen and provide a space for others to express themselves. As a means to balance these two personal desires, I felt it was important to dedicate a section to express this collection of written archives. For a more personal feel, I have made my own handwriting the font you see in each entry, converted from a grid paper to a digital format (If you'd like to make your own, the website I used is Calligraphr). As some of these articles and their developments evolve, the content within select entries may be updated over time.

Musician / Singer-Songwriter

Introducing the captivating musical world of Jeremy Haney, an autistic singer-songwriter who often feels misunderstood beyond the medium of live performance. But it's precisely his distinctive perspective that infuses his music with the raw authenticity and a depth of emotion that resonates deeply with audiences.

His bright soulful voice, ranging from a mature low tone to his delicate tenor high range, delivers heartfelt lyrics crafted from the mind of a poet. Since he was twelve, he taught himself to play a few instruments: Piano, Guitar and Ukulele. However, these were more than mere vessels to express music; rather sanctuaries that kept him from feeling alone.

After many years of development, he'd debut one of his first originals, Ukulele Soldier, for a live audience at his high school choir's Winter Coffeehouse. His parents would continue to foster his newfound passion, introducing him to a new world of Open Mic Nights.

He’s currently a student at Oregon State University, looking to earn his degree in Music Studies and Music Production. During this time, he has written and released two singles, as he carries an ambition to continue releasing music with the balance of college life.
