Jeremy Redmore

Redmore started making an impact in New Zealand's music scene in 2006 after joining New Zealand rock band Midnight Youth.[3] Their platinum-selling debut album The Brave Don't Run peaked at number 2 in the RIANZ New Zealand Album Chart and included two top 20, gold-selling singles, All On Our Own and "The Letter (Midnight Youth song)". The band won the Best Rock Album award, Best Group award and Best Engineer award at the 2009 New Zealand Music Awards as well as a Silver Scroll for the most-played song of 2009. In 2011 they released their second album World Comes Calling before Redmore quit the band to pursue a solo career in late 2012.[4] In November 2019, Midnight Youth announced Redmore and the band would be reuniting for a one-off show in Auckland, New Zealand - their first in over seven years since the band broke up.[5]

Redmore released his largely self-produced.[6] debut solo album, Clouds Are Alive, in July 2014 which reached number six[7] on the Official New Zealand Music Chart and spawned hit single "Bad Philosophy".[8] At the end of April 2014, Redmore opened for Ed Sheeran at his iHeartRadio showcase at Auckland's ASB Theatre.[9] The third single from the record, "One Day Alone", was released with a music video created by seven different directors from across the world.[10] Before 2015 Redmore performed at a number of New Zealand celebrity weddings including those of Mike Hosking, Dane Rumble and Angela Dotchin. Redmore also featured on two tracks for hip hop artist PNC (rapper) - Fame Kills All[11] and Lit / Slow Down.[12]

After going over five years without releasing new music, Redmore announced via a series of cryptic videos on his social media pages that he would be releasing a new project titled The Brightest Flame from November 2019.[13] The album was released in five separate chapters over the course of just over four months, and tells a story of heartbreak and healing.[14] The Brightest Flame, came together as a full album on March 20, 2020 and was released under Redmore's own record label.[15] The album was promoted with a variety of creative marketing initiatives including a collaboration with the Museum of Broken Relationships in Dunedin,[16] an "Unhappy Hour" event alongside Valentine's Day in Auckland [17] as well as an initiative called "Songs to your Steps" to help those isolated by the COVID-19 pandemic in Auckland.[18]

Then, over the course of six weeks during the lockdown measures taken by New Zealand's government in response to COVID-19, Redmore wrote 12 songs [19] based on stories submitted anonymously by the general public about their isolation and lockdown experiences; as part of a project called "Telltale Tunes".[20]
