Jeremiah "Jere" McAllister started his music career, at the age of 19, with the legendary DJ International records. He recorded 3 releases for DJI (Never Let You Down, Breathless, and What I Do) before leaving the label to join up with Steve Silk Hurley's ID productions. During his DJ International period, he wrote the music for Let The Music Use You by the NightWriters (under the pseudonym Alan Walker). This record was produced by the Godfather of House, Frankie Knuckles, and was a big underground club record in the UK (and Europe), during the Summer of Love of 1988. A song that has been described by some (UK Journalists) as defining Deep House Music. Jere started out, with ID Productions, as keyboard player for, Grammy Nominated, Eric E-Smoove Miller. He lent his talents to remixes for such artists as Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Marvin Gaye, INXS, Diana Ross, Taylor Dayne, Simply Red, Black Box, Keith Sweat, and the list goes on. Also, during his time working with E-Smoove, Jere co-wrote, We Got a Love Thing for CeCe Peniston, Are You Gonna Be There for Shay Jones (later redone by Up Yer Ronson), and A Little Bit More for Kym Sims, all records which saw quite a bit of chart action, worldwide. After E-Smoove left ID, Jere joined with producer Marc M-Doc Williams, to form InDaSoul. They collaborated on remixes, songs, and productions for such artists as Madonna, Mint Condition, Prince's New Power Generation, Sounds of Blackness, Tanya Blount (from Sister Act 2), and more, even a song for the movie To Wong Fu . As well as providing mixes for the Tom Joyner Morning Show as part of "Silk and The Soul Crew". One of their productions, Never Gonna Let You Go by Tina Moore, was a top ten hit and big part of the 2-Step Garage scene, in the UK.
Now as co-founder of Mr. A.L.I., his own Acid Jazz/Dance project the J.A.M. Sessions, and his new deal with EsNtion/Ryko/Warner Bros, there is bound to be more great music on the horizon.
