RECAP
- Jeremy Hecht, originally from Winnipeg, Canada, harbored big dreams that quickly outgrew his small hometown.
- He attended USC on a scholarship, with a clear vision of pursuing a career in the media space, ultimately leading him to attend a celebrity basketball game hosted by Radio Power 106.
- Determined to connect with the radio world, Jeremy tried to meet J Cruz, a radio host, finally securing an opportunity that led to his first real break—an interview with Chance the Rapper, although his questions were used rather than conducting the interview himself.
- Jeremy officially applied for an internship at the station, working there for 2-3 years, for which he feels grateful, acknowledging the universe aligned opportunities with his readiness.
- Post-interviewing experience at the radio station, Jeremy joined a YouTube channel, gaining extensive feedback—both positive and negative—which further fueled his development.
- He aspires to retain a superpower of boundless curiosity, emphasizing this trait throughout his career, as demonstrated during his red carpet interviews where spontaneous curiosity led to memorable interactions.
- During his internship at HipHopDX, Jeremy conducted an interview with Jeezy the Snowman, where his fan-inspired questions led to stories that gained significant traction, teaching him the power of genuine curiosity.
- Jeremy now hosts his own show "Sound Check," where music meets tough decisions, and he challenges guests to make difficult music choices to help him potentially guess their lifetime anthem by the end of the show.
- He advises against overlooking innate skills, focusing on asking curious and authentic questions without overthinking, as demonstrated when his “viral” questions stemmed from fandom rather than over-analysis.
- Jeremy's work with UPROXX involves creating "snackable" content that is easily digestible for mass consumption, with clips from his show "Bigger Picture" going viral.
- As a media personality, Jeremy faces personal attacks but remains resolute in upholding his beliefs, choosing not to engage negatively and instead focusing on highlighting art and music.
