It seems as though fate wanted musical dynamic duo Renee & Jeremy to make music together. Prior to ever meeting and collaborating, Renee Stahl and Jeremy Toback were linked through family friends, who suggested they get together and write.
“We have these crossings in our lives — we’re totally meant to have come together,” Stahl explains. “We knew we liked each other’s solo music, and had mutual friends in the Los Angeles songwriter world. It just so happens my husband's family was really close with Jeremy’s family; Jeremy and my husband’s parents would go out to dinner every Friday night. I most likely was at a party at his place, met him, and didn’t even realize. It was my husband who suggested we should make a record together. It was just … meant to be.”
Today, Renee & Jeremy are a musical duo who specialize in mellow, children-friendly renditions of both reimagined cover songs and their own originals, which have been streamed more than 100 million times by fans across the world. Their first album, 2007’s It’s a Big World!, is considered one of the top 50 baby music albums of all time.
