Hi there! My name is Jeremy Edwards. For the past three years or so, I have been making music under the name Jerome Freely (or Jerome Freely Band), but I think I'm going to shift away from that. At least for the moment, I am just going to be Jeremy Edwards, and I am rebranding this site to be called “Jeremy Edwards Music.”

Why? Since I'm mostly focusing on music for TV and film right now, it's just easier to use my own name than a stage name.  And I have never quite felt like “Jerome Freely” does a good job of capturing what I want my artistic identity to be.

BuI do think, eventually, I will probably land on a different artist name.  Jeremy Edwards is a fine name for a person, but it's not a great name for a musical artist. It's just not very unique. If you google “Jeremy Edwards” you will see a lot of other Jeremy Edwardses before you get to me - and there are also several other Jeremy Edwardses who have released music under that name. 

It's the same reason why, a lot of years ago, I tried using the artist name “Jeremy Goodking.”  I didn't really like that name either.  When I joined up with a bassist and a drummer we ended up being “The Goodkings,” and I liked that way better. 

I think, on reflection, I prefer a name that's more like a producer tag than a stage name. Something where I can say “Hi I'm Jeremy Edwards and I make music under the name v-jer” as opposed to “Hi I'm Jerome Freely.”

So I have some branding to figure out. I don't know where I'm going to end up - who knows, maybe I'll go back to Jerome Freely one day! But now's a moment of recalibration.
