The world rarely sees so much talent wrapped into one person. Jered Threatin, known professionally as Threatin, is a singer, song-writer, and multi-instrumentalist from Los Angeles, CA.
He began his career as a solo artist in 2012 upon relocating to California. After arriving in Los Angeles, he immediately began auditioning musicians to serve as his backing band for live performances. When asked about this process in a 2013 interview Threatin stated; "I play every instrument you hear on the studio recordings. But, when I perform on stage I am confined to singing and playing one instrument at a time. So, I am fortunate to have a solid backing band that believes in what I do."
After recruiting these members to fill the band's touring line-up; he began performing across North America. During this time Threatin proved to be one of the most promising rock artists in recent years. His distinct voice, remarkable musical abilities, and skill for writing memorable songs quickly captured the attention of fans and music industry professionals. In late 2014, Threatin signed a worldwide recording deal with the prominent label Superlative Music Recordings / SPV Records (Europe).
In 2015, Threatin recorded his first single entitled, "Living is Dying." The song received international radio airplay on Active Rock Radio. It was also featured on the Television Station Music Choice On Demand. The song went on to sell over 30,000 mp3 downloads within the first month of its release. Following the success of his this single; Threatin recorded his debut EP “If Need Be” which went on to sell 55,000+ copies.
By mid-2015, Threatin began touring more extensively with a North American tour that spanned the United States and Canada.. His high-energy live performances steadily gained attention and increased an already growing fan base. Following this relentless touring schedule; Threatin devoted the remainder of 2015 to songwriting and pre-production for his upcoming release. In early 2016, he entered the studio to begin recording his highly-anticipated debut album, appropriately titled; “Breaking the World”. It was mastered in New York, NY at Sterling Sound by Grammy nominated engineer Greg Calbi (John Lennon, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen).
"Breaking the World" was released worldwide on August 25, 2017. It was well-received by both fans and critics alike. The explosive success of this album led to Threatin winning the Top Rock Artist of the Year Award.
