Jeremy Lesley, a proud citizen of the Echota Cherokee Nation was born into music.  His mama played the piano; his daddy directed the choir and led the worship.  Oh yeah...and his grandfather was the Pastor!  By the age of five, Jeremy had begun playing piano, singing, and had written his first song.  By the time he was ten, he had recorded two albums (one on a Nashville Label), written over one hundred songs, and was traveling and performing over two hundred dates per year.  While touring and making numerous television and radio appearances, Jeremy still went to public school and tried to live a "normal" life. 

 

In his pre-teen years, Jeremy went through a voice change that ended his childhood musical career.  Suddenly, his voice had a deep baritone sound.  So, his other passion finally made room for him... radio!  At age fourteen, he got his radio license and started working weekends in his small hometown of Oneonta, AL.  Jeremy had also learned to sing with his now deeper voice and grew as an instrumentalist playing piano, bass, guitar, drums, and Native American flutes. 

 

In his adult life, Jeremy has traveled America, Canada, and part of the Caribbean, had several radio shows, made a few television appearances, and has produced and directed artists, dancers, actors, and musicians.  He's led thousands in worship and written numerous songs for worship that have been sung around the country. 

 

He has fallen, lost everything, and lived with public humiliation.  However, one day everything changed for Jeremy Lesley.  He met and fell in love with Mrs. Alabama, Kimberlie Foshee.  Now, Jeremy and Kym have found happiness they neither of them ever dreamed of.  They and their four, soon to be five, children (Hannah, Dawson, Macy, Zac, and coming soon to a theater near you...Jeremiah!) live in North Alabama

Willie is the boy cat that turned out to be a girl cat and was the mascot at MIX 102.9 before Dr. Phil Baxter made him look presentable.  He also picked up an attitude and is more obnoxious than the rest of the family together. Dave and Susan also have four children living in Montana, Southside, Rainbow City, and Ragland with three grandchildren.
