Jeremy H.G. Hayes was born in Nashville, TN and has dedicated much of his life to helping 
others not have to suffer through much of the same things he had to endure throughout his life. Through the years Jeremy has volunteered at Vanderbilt’s Children’s Hospital, coached youth sports, and has worked in Children’s Ministry.
Jeremy is an alumnus of Middle Tennessee State University where he earned a B.A. Degree majoring in History and minored in Psychology before completing his first Master’s Degree at Cumberland University, and is currently working on his second Master’s Degree.
Driving through Nashville Jeremy could not help but notice the amount of people with disabilities and the people walking the streets homeless. It made him think about how anyone could that person, if it were not for a few breaks going our way, someone giving us a chance, or our DNA lining up just right we may be in their shoes.
Jeremy understands, first hand, that people deserve chances to over come their past. Born into a bad home life, he did not know day to day where he would be living or if he would have food on the table (at points in his life he stole food just to be able to eat), Jeremy began drinking at the age of nine and over the years became an alcoholic. In 2009 Jeremy found God and accepted the salvation of God’s love.
Still battling a drinking problem (he had since childhood) Jeremy gave up alcohol in November 2011. Through his life Jeremy has felt the pains of obstacles either he was born into or ones he put in his own path; and it is for those reasons Jeremy is driven to help others in his community who need someone to care about them.
Jeremy believes life is about the amount of people we impact, in a positive manner, and not what we can accumulate; with this in mind Jeremy founded Music With A Purpose.
