Early Life and Music
Jeremy Davis was born on February 8, 1985. When he was 17, he lived in Franklin, Tennessee. He played bass guitar in a band called The Factory. This band played funk music. There, he met Hayley Williams. Through Hayley, Jeremy met brothers Josh Farro and Zac Farro. They soon decided to form a new band together. Jeremy was a bit worried at first because Zac was only 14. But he knew Zac was a very talented drummer.

How Paramore Started
The band Paramore officially began in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. The Farro brothers, Josh and Zac, were key members. Josh played lead guitar and sang backup. Zac was the drummer.

The band then asked Hayley Williams to be their lead singer. She also played keyboards. Through Hayley, Jeremy Davis joined as the bass player.
