Jeremy Passion: Let’s Get to Know Him and Learn How “Twit-Book Medley” Helps Engage Fans!

It does not take me so long to decide what to write in this blog post. I accidentally found this guy when I was exploring several independent artists' YouTube channels. For musicians, passion is the most powerful thing to create work. Agree? Passion drives you to create work. Passion inspires you to do something. Without passion, how can you get things done?

Jereme "Passion" Manongdo, a Filipino guy from San Francisco, has proved this theory by letting his passion drives himself into YouTube community. He is one of the unique artists who became the YouTube sensation since 2006. His name already explains how much he has a strong passion for music.

What do you honestly expect in life?

Money? Famous? Wealth? Or what?

People have being different expectations in life. Some wants to be famous. Some want to be rich. Some want to be everything I have mentioned above.

But the Jubilee Project group wants to be something else. I found them several months ago on their YouTube channel. I truly respect what they do and what they think. So, it is time to SHOUT OUT!

There are many ways that people can make money for their businesses, but the Jubilee Project wants to make money and return it to people. The best way that I can define them is they are independent filmmakers with a purpose. They make films to benefit people and organizations.
