Krystal Meyers is Jeremy's on-and-off girlfriend

Talk about a quick study. Jeremy Shum took up singing and dance lessons at the tender age of two, and almost immediately began appearing in commercials and music videos. Like his mates, Jeremy studied voice, piano, guitar, gymnastics, and dance, becoming in time a seasoned stage presence. "Performing gives me a rush," he says. "It creates this huge amount of energy." Jeremy enjoys other pursuits beyond music, including fashion design and interior decorating. But his main message to kids is remarkably sophisticated for a 14-year-old: "As a kid, don't take life for granted," he says. "Have fun with every moment of your life. Don't take things too seriously. And always be yourself."
