Jeremy Lloyd-Styles

Jeremy Lloyd-Styles had his roots in seemingly corrosive soil. The half black/white musician began his journey in the desert city of Riverside, CA, home to meth factories, smog, orange groves, the largest auto dealers in the country and a chair that President Taft sat in once. Lloyd-Styles then headed to New York where he believed he’d be that one in a million. Upon visiting his first NYC open mic he quickly realized that even IF he was miraculously that one in a million, in this city that meant there were eight more like him. So, he returned to the drawing board, and formed the trio Pearl and the Beard with Jocelyn Mackenzie, which would go on to sell out shows, thousands of records and grow a devoted fan base through extensive touring and word of mouth. The band would tour nationally and internationally, sharing the stage with acts like The Lumineers, Sharon Van Etten, Ingrid Michaelson, Neko Case, Bastille, and was taken under the wing of folk hero Ani Difranco. Their music is featured in numerous films and TV series. The fatigue of a touring lifestyle, the sands of time and the desire to be close to family and friends caused Lloyd-Styles to focus more on songwriting and began a new chapter in his career as a composer. He has written the music for films, commercials, and podcasts. With hands and feet firmly planted in rock, folk, punk, classical, ambient, R&B and pop, Jeremy creates an amalgamation of unique musical sounds and textures.
