JEREMY BRIDGMANJeremy is an active member of the "Society of Children's Books Writers and Illustrators" (www.scbwi.org) and a life-long musician, currently playing the drums in two music groups along with composing and producing music in his home studio, located inthe charming downtown Westchester neighborhood of Bakersfield, California. He is also the proud father of four musical children, and husband to a lovely piano teacher and singer. He manages his own company with multiple distinct aspects, consisting of IT services and support; music recording, production, and performance; book authorship; and more. The concept for Darci the Drummer formed as a result of his own musical adventures starting from a young age, along with the experience of music lessons that his own children are blessed to receive. He was also very inspired by the delight that has been exhibited by many who have sat down at his drum sets for fun, and the perseverance that he encourages in his children when facing doubt, struggle, and criticism. Lastly, he will never neglect to mention the number of toys, boxes and bins, and kitchen utensils that have been transformed into wonderfully noisy band instruments around the house.
