The SA muso has gone from playing in local parks to writing songs with superstar Ed Sheeran and having his face plastered in New York's Times Square
“He said: ‘Yeah, I know your music. I’ve been following you. You are a better loop artist than I am.’ There were a lot of South African musicians there at that talk and everyone was just like, ‘Oh shit, Ed knows Jeremy. That’s crazy.’”
Working with Ed was fun, but working with Ladysmith Black Mambazo, that was serious, that was legacy stuff They wrote their own parts, helped Loops figure out how to bring it all together and he joined all nine band members in the studio to record the final version. “It was just magic. The whole thing was a dream come true for me to work with a team that really managed to stay doing what they love all these years.”My call with Loops came ahead of a month of touring Europe after the album launch and playing at summer music festivals.
