He also performed at Six Flags Elitch Gardens in the Broadway Review Show and joined a local R&B group "Piece Of Mind." He then found his way to Guam to perform in Jerry Jackson's "Le Fantastique" at The Sand Castle in Tumon, Guam. Jeremi stayed in Guam from 2001-2003 as the Lead Male/ Master of Ceremonies.

In 2003 Jeremi moved back to the Metro Area and continued his performing career. He became a semi-finalist on Missy Elliott's "Road to Stardom," then joined local hip-hop dance troupe X-Faction.
