Jeremiah Johnson

Creative AI Expert

Jeremiah Johnson’s professional foundation was formed before technology, shaped by constraint, discipline, and self-directed learning. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, he grew up in a third-world environment defined by scarcity and instability, developing early resilience and a practical understanding of trade-offs. After moving to the UK around age seven, music became the first system he pursued seriously.
 
He began classical cello at eight, learning structure and rigour. By thirteen, he taught himself guitar, moving into improvisation and composition. At fifteen, he independently learned piano, deepening his understanding of harmony. At seventeen, he taught himself music production, entering recording, sound design, and signal flow. By nineteen, he was working professionally as a sound engineer from an office inside one of London’s most influential clubs. He has performed live to audiences of thousands and reached millions through national television. At twenty-one, after extensive hospitality experience, he moved into managing music venues and nightclubs, gaining direct exposure to group dynamics and decision-making under pressure.
 
This path was constraint-driven rather than institution-led. Music and sound engineering were treated as systems demanding precision, repetition, and accountability, reinforcing a practical systems mindset.
Alongside creative work, Jeremiah operated as an independent researcher analysing investor relations across global stock markets. He scaled this into a seven-person team whose work contributed to the Investor Relations Magazine Awards.
 
While running his studio, he began using ChatGPT to organise client work and recognised technology as creativity in disguise. He posted daily about emerging AI tools and applied use cases for over 300 consecutive days, leading to being headhunted to educate senior leaders. He has since delivered executive workshops for corporations like Adobe, Bloomberg Media, and The World Bank and many more.
