Jeris Johnson (born April 5, 1996)[1] is an American singer-songwriter from Eugene, Oregon[2] known for his unique blend of pop, rock, and alternative music. He rose to prominence through his innovative use of social media and collaboration with various artists.

Career

[edit]

The first instrument that he played was drums and played them from a really young age.[2] In his teens he was a big metal fan and all of its subgenres, and that is why he wants to give metal a new aspect.[3] He started making music since his early teens.[4] In 2015 started uploading songs on his own under the name Jeris but in 2020 he deleted all his previous work and continued with his full name.[5]

Johnson talked about his influence on the internet and his desire to create rock and metal that appeals to a younger audience by making it seem more futuristic rather than stuck in the past in order bring it back to its former glory. Although he is a fan of the classic old rock he wants to change that and do the same thing on a computer, make something new but also keep the rock vibe.[6] With all the aid from technology and AI, he says that everyone can instantly create music and add a fresh perspective to trap or metal. He argues that technology can be used in a "human way" and become more creative, pointing out that several metal genres have become well-known as a result of their use of technology.[7]

In 2021, he made a remix of Papa Roach's song "Last Resort", named "Last Resort Reloaded" after teasing it to the TikTok platform, from which he gained a lot of popularity.[8][9][10] He mentions "Last Resort" as one of the songs that made him pursue music and that genre of music.[3] The same year he remixed Bring Me the Horizon's Can You Feel My Heart. After uploading a part of the remix on his TikTok account, the band's frontman, Oli Sykes, got in touch with him and decided to release the remix officially.[6][11] He also opened for Korn and Evanescence on the tour together.[12][13] While there is a popular belief that his breakthrough was when "Last Resort Reloaded" was released, he actually became known when Nickelback's Chad Kroeger remixed his song "damn!".[14] Later, he released his first EP, "My Sword".[15]

In 2022, inspired by Slayer's Raining Blood, he decided to release a track with the same name with ZillaKami in order to "piss off old rock fans and sampled its distinguishable guitar riff".[16]

In 2023, alongside English rock band Yonaka, they released "Detonate" for G2 Esports, a collaboration that fulfilled his dream of creating music for a game.[17] He also released his first metal track called "When The Darkness Comes" which was praised by metal fans and even comparing to earlier music from band Avenged Sevenfold.[18]

In 2024, he released his second album named "Dragonborn". He also participated in the writing process of Falling in Reverse's song with Jelly Roll, "All My Life".[19][20] Johnson was one of the opening acts for Kim Dracula's tour[21] and Falling In Reverse's tour.[22][20]
