Jonathan Jeremiah Pop

Influenced by the classic songwriting of John Martyn, Scott Walker, and Serge Gainsbourg, London-born Jonathan Jeremiah's authentic timeless sound combines gritty acoustic R&B with folk-tinged soul. Born in London to an Anglo-Indian father and Irish Catholic mother, he began performing at the age of 14 after developing a deep rich baritone voice.

In 2011 Jonathan released his debut album, A Solitary Man, which achieved gold status in the Netherlands, charting at number 3 on release. Two further albums followed: 2012’s Gold Dust (recorded with Metropole Orkest) and 2015’s Oh Desire, both of which consolidated his audience, especially in mainland Europe, and earned him further accolades, not least a phone call from legendary James Bond composer John Barry, who offered to write with him. 2018 saw Jonathan release his 4th studio album Good Day including the singles ‘Mountain’, ‘Good Day’ and ‘U-Bahn (It’s Not Too Late For Us)’. This was followed up in 2022 with his 5th album Horsepower For The Streets featuring the tracks ‘Restless Heart’ and ‘Youngblood’ which have become live favourites.

With five albums of quality and distinction to his name, Jonathan has also worked throughout his career with prestigious European and British orchestras including Metropole Orkest with whom he recorded his album Gold Dust, the UK’s Heritage Orchestra, and Amsterdam Sinfonietta who he also toured with across the Netherlands in 2020.

This year Jonathan returns with his first show of 2025 at North Sea Jazz Festival and the promise of a new album and more live dates to follow.
