Daring to challenge the norm, he chose to play guitar and sing a rendition of The Flaming Lips song in front of an audience for the first time, sparking his passion for music.Webb, born Jeremy Graham, is a senior public relations and advertising major who produces his own folksy music. His goal is to sell songs for national commercials and films. The self-taught musician, who sounds like Bob Dylan, draws inspiration from literature and art but doesn’t share his personal life in his lyrics.”Music is just therapeutic,” Webb said. “It gets the demon out of me, and it feels good to sit down and make something that has the capability of lasting longer than I will live.”After his successful performance, Webb began taking his musical talents more seriously.This year, Webb released his first demo or EP, “E.xtraordinary P.rocrastination,” a short CD consisting of four songs. He has been playing in local coffee houses and hotel lounges, such as the La Casa Del Camino in Laguna Beach, since his freshman year at Chapman.As a one-man band, Webb challenges himself to play multiple instruments, ranging from the keyboard to the mandolin. Aside from the beginning piano class he took at Chapman, Webb has not had any formal musical training. The variation in instruments allows Webb to keep his music from becoming stagnant.”I never want any two of my songs to sound similar or have the same chord progression,” Webb said. “It is an easy trap musicians fall into, to write the same song over and over.”With Bob Dylan as one of his major influences, Webb chose to sculpt a likeness of the musician as a project for his ceramic class. His teacher David Kiddie, assistant professor of art, believes the nonchalant style Webb takes with his artwork is very similar to that of his musicality.”He approaches his artwork much like his music, fearlessly attacking the clay medium with little regard for refinement,” Kiddie said.While many artists tend to draw from individual experiences when writing music, Webb strays from his personal life, finding influence in other artistic mediums.”I like to draw from literature and authors like Hemmingway,” Webb said. “Exciting things do happen to me, but I am a pretty private person.”Sara Hahn, a 2010 alumna and graphic design major, created the artwork on the cover of “E.xtraordinary P.rocrastination.” “Every time I was in his room, he was jamming with people from our floor,” Hahn said. “His songs always had a lot of variety and were ones I would listen to on my own for a while.”Webb does not intend to spend his life as a studio musician but said he already knows music will always be something that remains a part of his life.”My parents always ask me where I am going with music, and I never have been able to give them an answer,” Webb said. “I just know it is part of who I am.
