The Jeremiah Show: Pop Culture, Music Icons Food Gods

*Dedicated in loving memory to Eddie Palmieri, the legendary Latin jazz pianist and bandleader, who was born on December 15, 1936, in Spanish Harlem, New York, and passed away on August 6, 2025, at the age of 88, at his home in New Jersey after an extended illness. He was a pioneering figure in salsa and Latin Jazz, known for blending Afro-Caribbean rhythms with jazz, and was the first Latino to win a Grammy.    The Legendary Hollywood Film Composers Series, brought to you by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors, Featuring Howard Drossin   Step inside the creative world of Howard Drossin, one of the most versatile composer-producers working in film, television, and video games. From his early days as Music Director at SEGA to scoring iconic titles like Sonic & Knuckles, Comix Zone, Afro Samurai, and Splatterhouse, Drossin has built a reputation for blending orchestral depth with punk, metal, hip-hop, and jazz.   In this exclusive interview on The Jeremiah Show, Drossin discusses his genre-bending approach to composition, his long-running collaboration with RZA on The Man With the Iron Fists films, and his newest work on the acclaimed feature Highest 2 Lowest by Director Spike Lee. He breaks down his process, the emotional architecture behind his music, and the moments that shaped his career as one of today’s most innovative storytellers in sound.   Whether you’re a fan of film scores, game soundtracks, or behind-the-scenes Hollywood craft, this deep dive into Howard’s work offers rare insight into a composer who continues to redefine modern scoring.   TAKEAWAYS   Why he steps away from the studio, goes on walks, and replays scenes in his head to diagnose musical problems.   Practical craft lessons for young composers   How to avoid “blank-page paralysis,” why getting anything down is better than waiting for perfection, and why ego has to stay out of commercial scoring.   The Herbie Hancock principle: letting music lead   What it means to “let the music go where it wants to go,” and how following musical inertia can override rigid theory or school rules.   Why imperfection gives music its soul   How live, analog performances from the  ‘60s–’70s shaped his ears, and why he believes some modern hyper-edited, perfectly tuned work has lost that human character.   How video game and theme-park loops shaped his writing   Writing long, repeating loops with minimal voices taught him economy, concise melody, and sensitivity to listener fatigue.   The real story behind his Sega break and Sonic-era work   How a boring game-testing job, a cassette tape, and one phone call from a Sega VP launched his career as a game composer.   How Highest to Lowest was built musically from the inside out   Why he recorded the score “old school” with everyone playing together, how the end-song arrangement grows as David imagines producing Ayanna, and how genre mashups (Glasgow jazz trio + LA folk singer; Eddie Palmieri in the parade; the chase cue) came together.   How character and theme are woven into the score   Howard’s view that David King’s core flaw is a lack of empathy, and how he tried to express that in the music very subtly rather than with obvious musical “signals.”   - - -   THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE   Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

Trust yourself, but be open.”   “Let the music go where it wants to go.”   Why Highest to Lowest feels like his “call-up to the majors.”   Highest 2 Lowest, Director: Spike Lee. Producers: Todd Black, Jason Michael Berman. Screenplay: Alan Fox. Starring Denzel Washington, A$AP Rocky, Ice Spice, Jeffrey Wright, Dean Winters.

THANKSGIVING 2023   Big Lou takes over The Jeremiah Show for a special Thanksgiving Football Roundtable with comedy heavyweights Tim Stack, Maz Jobrani, and Tehran, mixing sharp NFL analysis with nonstop laughs.   The crew breaks down the Thanksgiving Day slate—Bills vs. Lions, Giants vs. Cowboys, and Patriots vs. Vikings—while debating Dak Prescott, Bill Belichick’s genius, and why the Vikings might be this year’s wildcard surprise. Along the way, they detour into World Cup jokes, stories from the road, the legend of Belichick’s hoodies, and what it really takes to flip the “light switch” between violent Sundays and real-life kindness.   Thanksgiving food gets just as much love as football, from Persian Fesenjān and sweet potato pie to turkey, gravy-on-everything, and Jeremiah’s mom’s famous pies. The episode closes with shout-outs to Tim’s hit series Sprung on Amazon Freevee and Tehran’s “Tehran Thursdays” at the Laugh Factory, wrapping a show that’s equal parts football talk, food, and pure comedy chemistry.   LOUIS JONES https://www.instagram.com/holyfit310/   MAZ JOBRANI https://www.mazjobrani.com/   TEHRAN https://www.iamtehran.com/   TIM STACK https://x.com/TVsTimStack - - -   THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE   Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

Bay Area powerhouse Keldamuzik joins me for a high-energy, unfiltered conversation that dives deep into her world of music, fashion, and fierce independence. From her genre-bending hip-hop/R&B singles to her global touring and TV hosting work on Diva Talk Tonite (now streaming on Tubi), Kelda opens up about the grind, the glamour, and the mindset that built her empire. We talk about the early days of her career, the creative fire that drives her, and the moment she realized her voice carried more than rhythm — it carried influence. Kelda also shares the story behind Tamz Berets, her bold fashion line redefining confidence and self-expression with every stitch. In this interview, Keldamuzik brings the heat: her honesty, her hustle, and her signature swagger. Whether she’s breaking barriers in entertainment, uplifting her community, or turning a classic beret into a cultural movement, Kelda proves once again that she’s unstoppable. If you’re an artist, a creator, a fashion lover, or anyone ready to level up — this is an episode you don’t want to miss.   Through her partnership with HairToStay, a portion of every Tamz beret helps cancer patients afford scalp-cooling treatments during chemotherapy.   Style meets strength.   Tamz by Keldamuzik — empowering confidence, supporting healing, one beret at a time.   https://weartamz.com/ https://keldamuzik.com/ Catch Keldamuzic on: The Hodges on Amazon Prime THE DIVA WORKOUT's new album  Diva Talk Tonite Tubi streaming on demand  

In my conversation with blues-rock powerhouse Kathryn Grimm, we explored the relentless evolution of an artist who refuses to stand still or repeat the past.   Kathryn opened up about the creative fire behind her latest Blues/Rock EP—now submitted for consideration for the Grammy and Blues Foundation Awards—and the deeply personal journey fueling her upcoming 13-song album, set for release in early 2026.    From her “Santana-esque” playing style to her reputation as a vocalist who “sings like an angel, plays guitar like the devil,” Kathryn shared stories from a life spent learning from legends, lifting up students, and carving out an unmistakable sound that is entirely her own.    Our interview revealed a seasoned artist in full command of her craft, balancing grit and grace as she moves into one of the most inspired phases of her career.   CONNECT with Kathryn Grimm - https://kathryngrimmmusic.com/ APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY Listen More.

“The coolest thing about being a musician is every single experience I have — even the worst ones — I’m like, well, at least there’s going to be a song that comes out of it.” -    - Nicole Sophia on Vulnerability   Jeremiah interviews Nicole Sophia, whose just-released debut album, Feral, captures the raw, untamed spirit of rebirth. With poetic honesty and cinematic soundscapes, Nicole invites listeners into a deeply personal journey of courage, heartbreak, and self-discovery.   They explore the making of Feral—a record born from vulnerability and wild truth—and the freedom that comes when an artist fully claims her voice.   Nicole Sophia’s music reminds us that to be “feral” is not to be lost, but to finally be found—authentic, unfiltered, and alive.   Chapters 00:00 Celebrating the Debut Album 'Feral' 07:27 The Essence of 'Feral': Embracing Raw Emotions 12:50 Navigating Love and Vulnerability 17:53 Support and Freedom in Music Collaboration   CONNECT with NICOLE SOPHIA - https://www.nicolesophiamusic.com/music APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY | INSTAGRAM Photo Credit: Sara Grey Fox   THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE   Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

Nicholas Pike - Emmy Award-winning Hollywood Composer The Legendary Hollywood Film Composers Series, brought to you by The Jeremiah Show and Executive Producer Carol Connors.   “It’s a feeling of excitement—energy—and my first instinct is to go over to the piano and let that emotion flow out through my fingers.” - Nicholas Pike on Inspiration   Jeremiah welcomes Emmy Award-winning composer Nicholas Pike, whose latest release is the music soundtrack for Viva Verdi!  Inspired by the spirit of Giuseppe Verdi, it’s a conversation between composers across time — with the featured song “Sweet Dreams of Joy” voiced through the soaring brilliance of Grammy Award–winning soprano Ana María Martínez.   The Viva Verdi! soundtrack by Nicholas Pike bridges past and present — a musical homage to the golden age of Italian opera, and to the compassion that inspired Verdi’s legendary Casa Verdi, a home built for celebrated opera singers and musicians living out their ‘third act.’   The Viva Verdi! soundtrack is available Nov 15, 2025   CONNECT with NICHOLAS PIKE – NicholasPike.net   LISTEN to NICHOLAS PIKE APPLE MUSIC | SPOTIFY | INSTAGRAM     THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE   Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

THE JEREMIAH SHOW Featuring Shelita   "You want to do the hardest thing first."   Shelita is an international pop artist whose journey blends resilience, reinvention, and music that elevates our collective consciousness. She has been featured in NPR, Forbes, and Rolling Stone.  Her songs have reached millions of streams worldwide, she’s charted on Billboard, and her music has connected with audiences from all over the world. Her EP Special reached #10 on Billboard and #3 on iTunes, and her single "Penetrate" climbed to #14 on Billboard's Next Big Sound chart. Shelita won a prestigious Hollywood Music In Media Award, appearing alongside industry legends like Quincy Jones and Dianne Warren. She has been named an "Artist to Watch" by NPR Music and was featured as a spotlight artist at SXSW.  She has performed over 150 shows across Europe, Asia, and Africa, making her a true "musical citizen of the world.” Shelita’s path was profoundly altered by a skydiving accident in Seychelles that left her facing years of recovery, isolation, and multiple surgeries. In the depths of uncertainty, she turned to two lifelines: freediving and music.  The ocean gave her freedom, and music reminded her that vibration heals. Out of this union came not only recovery but an entirely new chapter in her artistry, one rooted in resilience, transformation, and depth. Shelita’s story is not only one of survival. It is a living example of how art and the human spirit can rise, reinvent, and inspire.   Now, Shelita returns with her most powerful body of work yet, Into the Depths, arriving in early next year.    CONNECT   Website: https://iLoveShelita.com   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Shelita   Instagram: https://instagram.com/iLoveShelita   X (Twitter) https://x.com/iLoveShelita   Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/shelitaburke   Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/iLoveShelita   Contact: hello@iLoveShelita.com   Chapters 00:00 The Beauty of Sunrises and Life's Moments 04:03 Shalita: A Journey of Resilience and Transformation 11:15 From Software Engineer to Musician: A Unique Path 18:21 The Power of Music and Collaboration 29:00 Overcoming Fears and Embracing Challenges 36:41 The Healing Power of Music and Frequencies 49:15 Into the Depths: A Transformational Album   - - -   THE JEREMIAH SHOW Voices Carry - These Are Your Stories    POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS  The Jeremiah Show - Please Subscribe & Rate - CLICK HERE   Check Out The Back Catalogs of Special Guests - CLICK HERE To Become a Sponsor of The Jeremiah Show CLICK HERE for Media Deck and Rates THE JEREMIAH SHOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY evolve entertainment network - www.thejeremiahshow.com   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
