Early years
Jeremy McKinnon was born in Gainesville, Florida and grew up with two sisters. McKinnon first got a job at Boston Market and later went on to do construction work.[1] McKinnon's interest in music came as a result of hanging out with a friend's band.[2] McKinnon was inspired to write and play heavy music by a local band, Seventh Star.[nb 1][2] McKinnon often got into trouble during high school in Ocala, Florida and as a result he would write music.[3] McKinnon's first band[4] was the ska band All for Nothing, before joining guitarist Tom Denney and drummer Bobby Scruggs to form A Day to Remember.[5]
McKinnon and A Day to Remember bassist Joshua Woodard have formed their own record label, Running Man;[6] in partnership with Epitaph, they signed up band Veara.[7]
During an interview in 2012, McKinnon said that the possibility of doing a solo album was unlikely.[8]
Influences
McKinnon cites as his biggest musical influence punk rock band Millencolin,[9] and cites as his influences on the stage ska punk band Less Than Jake: "They were having fun during the concert, they were not super serious. But they were not Scocchi so as to appear ridiculous. Simply, they created a great atmosphere, and I've always loved this. Then I saw the Flaming Lips, and Rammstein in Germany, and that was the craziest concert I've ever seen. I'm just trying to combine and put into practice all the amazing things that I've loved over the years."[10]
