Jeremy Jackman's musical education began as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral. He then progressed through the Royal College of Music and Hull University.

Jeremy started his career as a freelance counter-tenor and choral director. He sang throughout Eastern and Western Europe as a soloist, as a member of groups such as the Alfred Deller Consort and the Tallis Scholars, and in opera. In 1980, he was invited to join the King's Singers, succeeding Nigel Perrin as their highest voice, and for ten years shared their demanding international schedule, performing in the world's most prestigious concert halls, and making countless broadcasts and recordings.

In 1990 Jeremy resumed work as a choral conductor, directing choirs, courses and workshops all over the world. As Chorus Master to the Belfast Philharmonic Choir (1991-97) and the London Philharmonic Choir (1992-94) he worked with the world's most renowned conductors in the preparation of a wide variety of music. In 1994 he was invited to form the Choir of the Orchestra of St John's Smith Square.

He is Musical Director for the Cecilian Singers in Leicester and Director of Music for the Jay Singers in Norfolk. He is frequently invited to give workshops and masterclasses with established choirs in the UK and overseas. His compositions are published by Faber, Hinshaw and Harmonia.

Jeremy has conducted at the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Birmingham Symphony Hall, St Andrew's Hall (Norwich), Belfast Cathedral and St John's Smith Square (London). He has also conducted in concert halls around the world - in Spain, Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden, Singapore and Taiwan.
