Biography

Jeremy Smith is a Melbourne-based musician; he was a member of Hunters & Collectors on French horn, guitars, keyboards, programming, and backing vocals (1981–1998) and worked on Ghostwriters's 1996 album, Second Skin.

He provided percussion elements for some Midnight Oil tracks and recorded horns on their album, Redneck Wonderland. He also composed the Wolf Blass theme music. Later in life Jeremy found himself retiring in Fitzroy, Melbourne. He found solace in being amongst some incredible musical prowess. Jeremy spent many evenings enjoying the creations of the basement studio next door, later to be recognised as one of the most innovative studios of 2012, Fritzel Monster Mash. Jeremy would later describe this studio as 'in no way a sound proof room'.
