Hi! My name is Jeremy Haysman – a 28yr old singer/songwriter & guitarist from Atlanta, GA
“Be the change you hope to see in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi
After graduating from the University of Georgia in 2018 with a degree in marketing, I quickly realized, through my experience in the advertising field, that the traditional, corporate life was not for me. There was something missing.
I’ve always had a love for creating. I’m a true believer that everyone should follow their passions because by doing so you are allowing yourself to find purpose in what you love. By the beginning of 2019, I was still reaching… trying to find what it was I felt I needed to be doing with my time. I decided to take an account of what in my life simply brought me the most joy, and how I could make those things my career… my life.
Quickly I discovered that there is one thing that brings me the most joy – CREATING! Directly at the top of the creative list lies music. On March 7th, 2020 I decided to move cities (back to Athens, GA) and start a career as a singer/songwriter & guitar player under the stage name J. McCoy. I had just started exploring the art of songwriting, but I had this feeling inside of me that it was what I was and am supposed to be doing.
I’m not gonna lie, the move was tough. March marked the start of the COVID pandemic which caused everything to come to a halt. I could just harp on the negatives of being isolated for a year, but where’s the fun in that? Instead, I’ll let the positives prevail. I spent countless hours honing my craft, writing songs, and further developing my relationship with music… to creating… to myself, patiently waiting for things to open back up so I could share my work with the world.
Now, hungrier than ever, I’ve dropped the name J. McCoy and am pursuing my art unmasked and proud to be performing as Jeremy Haysman. Over the last few years, I’ve been playing all around Georgia doing singer/songwriter solo gigs, band gigs with Indigo Method and other groups, and continuously figuring out my place in this ever changing world.
As a creative, I am wanting to take on more projects. Things I can pour my passion and ideas into. I want to utilize my skills as a marketing expert to further immerse myself in sources of progress. Please contact me if you want to collaborate and stick around on the site to explore all there is to me. All there is to Jeremy Haysman.
