A lot has happened to Jeremy Rose a.k.a. Zodiac in the past couple of years. Barely 23, he was (arguably) robbed of some of his most valuable credits for his work with The Weeknd (snapped up by Drake) but on the other hand, he’s just been recruited by multi-Grammy winning super-producer Paul Epworth (Adele, Bloc Party, Foster the People,Lana Del Rey) to write music for his fledgling label Wolf Tone Records.
We joined Rose on the phone just before he set off to England to work in his private studio on a new album. It looks like this astrologically-minded dreamer will finally get his reward.
“When I first heard that Paul was interested in me, I was like… ‘Oh nooooo, what am I going to do now??'” he tells Spinner. “I’m not used to good things happening. I’m always kind of scared of screwing up, but I’m in a far more positive mood now.”
There’s no doubt that his past experience laying out the groundwork for Abel Tesfaye of The Weeknd somewhat marred his experience with the music industry, but he’s hoping to move on as quickly as possible, and will be stepping up his instrumentation in a much bigger way thanks to the Epworth’s studio.
