EP 48- Jeremy Schreifels, Serial Entrepreneur, Road to 99, Co-Founder Monumental Voice Media: Transition; A Beautiful Mess

There are people in this world that do not think like others; they are innovators, hustlers, visionaries, and master executioners in their work, their lives, and they follow a very succinct code......a code......that was created within them.

As an interdisciplinary international producer, songwriter, touring drummer, best-selling author of the book "Road to 99", speaker, and executive coach, Jeremy Schreifels has been bringing music to broad audiences for more than two decades. His focus across all of these art forms is an emotional connection, bridging lyric, rhythm, and melody to best serve the vision of both his own creations and those of the artists he works with. 

In 2020 alone, Jeremy has been involved in the writing, recording, and/or production of more than fifty songs, collaborating with musicians from around the world. Such collaborations include personnel from Toronto, United Kingdom, Dominican Republic, Los Angeles, Columbia, and notably, work with Grammy-nominated mixer Brendan Ruane.

Beginning his career as a drummer and percussionist, Jeremy’s background spans orchestral and marching performance, working with a variety of ensembles at his alma mater, St. Cloud State University, drum set performance in a range of styles, both as a bandleader and hired player, worship music, world percussion, theater pits, and beyond. He brings this extensive performance experience into his present studio work as a songwriter and producer, in addition to percussive duties.

His performance history includes acts such as Worship MPLS, Diesel Fire, Mitch Gordon Band, Crescent Moon Jazz, Buffalo Alive, Radio Nation, St. Cloud Symphony Orchestra, Minnesota Drum & Bugle Corps, and many others. 

This broad palette has led to working with artists and musicians on releases (albums and singles), sync licensing, production music, songwriting, and collaborations of all kinds. 

As an educator, Jeremy is an active member of the Vic Firth Education Team as a Private Drum Teacher and Marching Percussion Specialist. He has worked with high school marching bands, indoor drumlines, and percussion ensembles, as well as teaching privately. His educational background has created further opportunities for public speaking and teaching outside of the realm of percussion, including MACMH’s 2018 and 2019 Annual Children’s Mental Health Conferences and New Horizons Early Childhood training, among other engagements. 

With a broad interest in composition, humanity, and connecting human beings through the power of song, Jeremy dedicates himself to each and every project he’s involved in, taking pride in combining orchestral finesse, an ear for modern music, and technical studio knowledge. 

Jeremy Schreifels is an avid coffee lover, dedicated father, and husband, and lives with his family in the greater Minneapolis area.

Today, Jeremy and Jessica take a deep dive into the human experience and the importance of following the beat of your own drum.  They talk about the relentless pursuit of everything while in transition, a time that happens frequently for people running toward excellence.  Jeremy and Jessica talk candidly about some of the lessons they've learned, the pressures associated with society, "keeping up with the Jones," and the unbridled pursuit of living an intentional and fruitful life.  Jeremy talks about his experience as an author, and what it means to build something bigger than yourself.

 "You said creatives and not musicians.  We live in that space to convey a message or convey a story, but not realizing all the things we had to do that are incredible."
