Jeremy Scott Zucker (born March 3, 1996) is an American singer-songwriter, best known for his songs "Comethru", "You Were Good to Me", and "All the Kids Are Depressed". He has released multiple EPs and two full-length albums, Love Is Not Dying (2020) and Crusher (2021).

Early life[edit]

Originally from Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, Zucker was raised in a musical household with his parents and two older brothers. While a student at Ramapo High School, he began making music in his bedroom and later joined a band called the "Foreshadows". The first song he wrote was about his brother's fear of heights.[2] After graduating high school, they attended Colorado College where he graduated in 2018 with a degree in molecular biology.[3][4] Before producing his own music, his first job was as a snowboard instructor.[5]

Career[edit]

2015–2019: Beach Island, Breathe, Motions, and Glisten[edit]

In 2015, Zucker released their debut EP Beach Island. He released Breathe containing his breakthrough hit "'Bout It" in December 2016.[6] In 2017, Zucker released Motions, featuring the song "Heavy," which later Blackbear remixed into "Make Daddy Proud" and included on their album Digital Druglord.[7] Zucker and Blackbear later collaborated on the single "Talk Is Overrated" on Zucker's EP Idle. Zucker released Stripped in February 2018, followed by Glisten in May 2018. In September 2018, Zucker released Summer, which contains the song "Comethru." He wrote "Comethru" as a response to graduating college in May 2018 and moving back to his childhood home in New Jersey.[8]

2019–present: Brent, Love Is Not Dying, Brent II, Crusher, and Is Nothing Sacred? [edit]

In 2019, Zucker collaborated with singer Chelsea Cutler on "You Were Good to Me." The song was the lead single of their first collaborative EP Brent which was released on April 19, 2019.

On July 26, Zucker released "Oh, Mexico," the lead single for their debut album Love Is Not Dying. The subsequent singles "Always, I'll Care," "Not Ur Friend," and "Julia" were released on February 7, 2020, February 28, and March 24 respectively, leading up to the album's release on April 17.[9][10] The album is an autobiographical collection of songs that were recorded in Brooklyn during the second half of 2019.[11] On July 24, he released the single "Supercuts". They featured on Claire Rosinkranz's song "Backyard Boy" and "Nothing's the Same" with Alexander 23.[12][13]

On January 15, 2021, Zucker and Cutler released "This Is How You Fall in Love", and they hosted the livestream show Brent: Live on the Internet, where they introduced Brent II, which was released on February 5.[14][15][16][17] Beginning in June 2021, Zucker released the songs "18" on June 24, "Honest" on July 23, "Cry with You" on August 20, and "Therapist" on September 17 as singles for his sophomore album Crusher which was released on October 1, 2021.[18]

Zucker released "Internet Crush" on February 10, 2023.[19] This was followed by the release of the next single, "OK", along with the music video for the track. Their third EP, entitled Is Nothing Sacred?, was released on June 9, 2023, which featured "Internet Crush" as the lead single, followed by "OK". The EP contains three other songs, entitled "Cindy", "I Need You (In My Life)”, and "A Dying World...".
