Jeremy began formal music training at the age of 10. He was born into a musical family. His mother, a singer, pianist & violinist, and father, a drummer, ran a very successful cabaret band that worked every weekend for 17 years in Melbourne.
At an early age, Jeremy joined his parent’s band, which began his professional career where he eventually took over its management.
In 1991, Jeremy graduated from The Victorian College Of The Arts. In 1989, while still at college, Jeremy was offered the bass chair for the Melbourne theatre season of Les Miserables.
Jeremy played bass for the Melbourne theatre season of Les Miserables in 1990 & 1998. He has also played in theatre orchestras for The New Rocky Horror Show, Rent, The Full Monty, and Joseph and His Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, where he had the opportunity to perform alongside artists such as Tina Arena, Anthony Warlow, and Debra Byrne.
Jeremy appeared regularly on TV’s Good Morning Australia, backing some of Australia’s finest artists. He has performed with many bands locally and overseas, including Bob Valentine, Darryl Braithwaite, the ’97 & ’99 tours of Elvis to the Max, and Jabulani. He formed his own corporate & backing band, Rapture in 1994, which employs some of the most talented TV & studio musicians in Australia.
My Band Rapture playing jazz standard Green Dolphin Street.
Just found this old desk tape from a corporate gig back in 2005… So, it’s the first set through dinner, we’ve played a couple of charts, and I’m flipping through the standards book looking for the next tune to play.
Me: “How about Green Dolphin Street?”
Gerry: “Yeah cool… I’ll set it up.”
Me: “Yeah man… go for it.”
Everyone: [Nodding]
And this audio is what transpired... 
Gerry lays down a beautiful groove, .. everyone comes in… [HEAD]… and then what follows are two amazing solos from Phil Turcio and then Tim Wilson, absolutely ripping it up.. 
We play a lot of gigs over the years, but some just stand out, right?
