Jeremiah Clayton "Jeremy" Davis (born February 8, 1985), also known as Jerm, is an American musician, songwriter, and rapper.
In 2002, at the age of 17, he was living in Franklin, Tennessee, where he played in a funk cover band called The Factory, where he met Hayley Williams.
Davis admitted that due to Zac's age (14 at the time) he thought people wouldn't take them seriously until they saw him play.
Taylor York was also a part of the band from the very beginning, but his parents wanted him to finish school first and later returned in 2007.
In February 2016, Davis became embroiled in a legal battle with Williams and Taylor York over ownership and authorship of the songs and a portion of the royalties from Paramore's self-titled album, as well as a share of the band's touring revenue and other income.
Davis claimed Varoom Whoa, the business entity that operates Paramore, was a partnership, and that Williams and York are also partners.
