SLUMP: The California Artist Turning a Lifetime of Hustle, Art, and Adversity Into His Next Chapter
LOS ANGELES, CA — Jeremy Scholl, professionally known as SLUMP, is a Los Angeles-based artist whose story extends far beyond music. A lifelong creative and self-described California hustler, SLUMP has spent years moving through music, visual art, skate culture, streetwear, cannabis, and community outreach, building a unique identity rooted in creativity, independence, and connection.
A Life Built Around Art and Culture
For SLUMP, art has never been limited to one medium. His creative journey has taken him from music and murals to skateboarding, streetwear, cannabis culture, and media. Each chapter has contributed to a broader artistic identity that reflects the culture and communities that have influenced him throughout his life.
California is more than where SLUMP is from — it is a major part of his identity and artistic philosophy. His belief that “California is art, and art is blood” represents the deep connection he has with the culture surrounding him.
From Music to the Cannabis Industry
SLUMP’s entrepreneurial history is just as notable as his artistic career. From 2014 to 2019, he operated SLUMPwax, building a presence throughout California’s cannabis industry that eventually reached nearly 200 dispensaries.
The business generated millions in profits while also creating opportunities for SLUMP to give back to his community through skateboarding events, product giveaways, and other community-focused efforts.
His experience in the cannabis industry gave him firsthand knowledge of entrepreneurship, branding, business, and independent culture — experiences that continue to influence his approach to music and art.
Overcoming Addiction and Adversity
Behind the accomplishments, SLUMP’s journey has also included some of the most difficult experiences of his life. Drug addiction and an unhealthy marriage contributed to years of personal struggles, including multiple periods of incarceration.
Today, however, SLUMP is focused on rebuilding.
Clean and sober, he is entering a new chapter centered around faith, creativity, and purpose. Instead of allowing his past to define him, he is using those experiences as part of the foundation for his future.
Faith, Music, Art, and Media
SLUMP’s current direction is focused on the things he believes in most: God, art, music, and media.
His vision is to continue creating throughout his life while building a lasting company and brand around his work. Touring, releasing quality music, developing merchandise, and continuing to connect with audiences are all part of the future he sees for himself.
Quality Through Voice, Vision Through Art
At the core of SLUMP’s philosophy are three principles: quality through a profound voice, vision through art, and love through connection to community.
Those principles reflect the different worlds he has experienced throughout his career. From independent music and skate culture to entrepreneurship and community outreach, SLUMP has consistently found ways to connect creativity with the people around him.
Building the Next Chapter
Today, SLUMP’s primary goal is brand recognition and connection. He wants people to discover the artist behind the name and understand the experiences that shaped his creative vision.
His story is one of highs and lows — from building a successful cannabis business and contributing to his community to battling addiction, facing incarceration, finding sobriety, and rebuilding his life through faith and creativity.
Now, SLUMP is focused on what comes next.
With music, art, merchandise, media, and community at the center of his vision, SLUMP is continuing to build a legacy on his own terms — turning a lifetime of experiences into art and using his story to connect with the world.
