About Jeremy Mikush:
Jeremy is a creative polymath, a Renaissance person whose creative path uniquely integrates the arts, humanities, and spirituality. After leaving the prestigious Ph.D. program in musicology at UCLA to travel and perform with Alaska in 2013, Jeremy’s performances with Alaska have become internationally enjoyed. Both a classically-trained singer and play-by-ear instrumentalist, Jeremy was born with otosclerosis, rendering them with only 50% hearing in each ear, uniquely informing their life as a performer, songwriter, arranger, and creative consultant. As an independent researcher, Jeremy studies the role of gender-variant people, primarily in the Euro-Mediterranean heritages. They soon hope to create school and community educations programs on the nearly-erased history of what is now known broadly as the LGBTQIA+ community and its role in humanity for millennia. Spirituality deeply nourishes their work, and Jeremy practices mindfulness meditation, Tarot divination, sacred ceremony/witchcraft, has been involved in the Radical Faerie community, and is called to make pilgrimages to ancient sacred sites. Jeremy’s rich musical style is rooted in traditions ranging from folk/acoustic, pop and electronic dance music to opera, medieval song, and baroque dances; Jeremy’s soundscapes and poetry are expressions of joy, contemplation, confrontation, and trust in the superhuman potential of humanity.

About Alaska & Jeremy:
Alaska and Jeremy formed a chosen creative family over 10 years ago, which has manifested into a wide variety of musical and artistic collaborations. Together they have written folk songs inspired by the LGBTQIA experience (such as “The Gayest Thing You’ve Ever Seen” and “The Fisting Song”), and over the past 5 years have crafted and mounted numerous cabaret shows at New York City’s legendary Laurie Beechman Theatre, celebrating their favorite artists, icons, and inspirations— from Cher, to Stevie Nicks, to The Golden Girls. They have gone on to perform together regularly in the UK, Australia, South America and North America. Their musical influences stem from a deep love for far-reaching generations of music— from folk and singer-songwriter artists to the pop and power ballads of the late 20th century. In 2018, Alaska and Jeremy retreated into the woods of the Russian River Valley to write, reflect, and commune with nature, and their debut album Amethyst Journey was born. The album is an offering to the planet and to humanity, rooted in a reality where the Queer experience and spirituality combine.
