Growing up in Walla Walla, Washington, he was part of a rock band that performed shows at a young age. Eric’s musical journey started early, with him recording his first record at just 14 years old, albeit with limited reach due to industry exclusivity at the time.
In parallel to his music pursuits, Eric has cultivated a successful career in high-level management spanning over 15 years. He has held various positions within different companies, honing his skills in business operations and logistics. Notably, his most recent role involves working with adults with disabilities at HAS Incorporated, where he ensures their care and empowers them to reach their highest potential. Through this experience, Eric has developed a deep understanding and appreciation for African culture, fostering a close friendship with his colleague, Patrick Djomaly. Their shared passions and interests led to the establishment of Djomaly Productions, a partnership venture aimed at promoting African music and talent.
Bringing his expertise in music, business, and management, Eric serves as the Operations Executive at Djomaly Productions. His extensive background in business operations, logistics, and team management allows him to contribute to the smooth day-to-day functioning of the company, ensuring its success and growth.
Outside of his professional endeavors, Eric has been happily married and since 2009.

“Jeremy, a native of Walla Walla, Washington, has had a lifelong passion for music, ignited when he received his first bass guitar and amplifier as a high school graduation gift from his parents. His musical journey took a significant turn when he moved to Boise, Idaho, and started collaborating with various local artists. This led to a meeting with Ryan Stevenson, and together, they led worship at a local church, eventually planting their own.
Their partnership spanned a decade, during which they toured the country spreading the gospel message through music. However, when Ryan signed with Gotee Records under Toby Mac and moved to Nashville, Jeremy chose to prioritize his family life in Boise, continuing his involvement in music as a bass player for the Boise Vineyard and working as a wedding DJ for almost a decade.
In addition to his extensive music career, Jeremy has a wealth of experience in sales and marketing. His expertise, drawn from roles within the health insurance and cryptocurrency industries, includes skills in video production, web and graphic design, and various other marketing facets.
On a personal note, Jeremy is the older brother of Eric Wilson, and a devoted family man. He’s been happily married for 17 years and is the proud father of three incredible sons – Eli, Blake, and Jett.
Now, Jeremy is excited to bring his experience with a love for music, along with his skills and passion, to Djomaly Productions. His aim is not only to share the African culture he has grown to love with everyone he can, but also to initiate a process of unification through music and cultural exchange. Moreover, he’s committed to serving the African community who now call the United States their home and to the extent he can, the African community abroad.”
