About Jeremih

Jeremih is a Chicago R&B singer who emerged in the late 2000s with a knack for melodic hooks and late-night bedroom production. He broke through with "Birthday Sex" in 2009, a song that became inescapable and established him as a vocalist who could float between singing and rapping with equal ease. His album "All the Way" cemented his style—layered, intimate, production-heavy tracks that feel like they're being whispered directly to you. He's worked extensively as a featured artist, popping up on tracks with 50 Cent, Chance the Rapper, and countless others, often stealing the show with his deft vocal runs. Songs like "Oui" and "Don't Tell 'Em" became streaming staples, showcasing his ability to write earworms that actually have substance. Throughout his career he's remained prolific but understated, never quite achieving mainstream superstardom despite the quality of his work, which is probably fine with him.

Jeremih's shows are intimate despite venue size. Crowds are there specifically for him, singing along to every hook. He's smooth onstage, not flashy, but that confidence carries. People are genuinely there to hear the vocals—not much posturing.

Jeremih + New Orleans

Jeremih brought his smooth R&B to the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on July 2, 2016, playing to a crowd that knew every word of his catalog. The Chicago singer moved through his biggest tracks with the kind of ease that comes from years of touring, his voice—still that distinctive blend of breathy and precise—cutting through the massive venue like he'd played it a hundred times before. New Orleans has never been his obvious home base the way it is for bounce or bounce-adjacent artists, but Jeremih's brand of contemporary R&B found its audience there. The Superdome show was the kind of night where someone could hear 'Don't Tell Em' or 'All the Way' and forget for a moment that arena shows are supposed to feel distant.

Live Music in New Orleans

New Orleans doesn't really do contemporary R&B the way it does funk, bounce, or jazz. The city's musical DNA runs toward the rhythmic and the immediate, which makes visiting R&B acts like Jeremih interesting cultural moments. When he showed up at the Superdome, it was a reminder that not everything in New Orleans has to come from New Orleans to land there. The city absorbs influence and makes space for it, even when it's not native to the place.

New Orleans road trip to see Jeremih?

Stay in the Marigny neighborhood—closer to the actual music scene than the French Quarter, with better restaurants and genuine character. Dinner at Bacchanal Butcher on Dauphine Street for their house-made charcuterie and wine list. Spend an afternoon at the Preservation Hall Foundation or catch live jazz on Frenchmen Street, which will give you the musical context for understanding why New Orleans crowds demand what they do. Walk through the Backstreet Cultural Museum to see the real history of the city's brass bands and Mardi Gras culture.
