Biography
Riddle is a former middle-school youth pastor at the Anaheim Vineyard in Anaheim, California, a position he held for 6 years along with leading worship at the church. He took the position after a few years of playing in a mainstream band. The church experience helped provide much of the inspiration for the songs that appear on Full Attention.
Riddle is married to Katie, and has five children. They reside in Redding, California.
Full Attention peaked on the Billboard Top Christian and Gospel Albums Chart at #47, and the only single released from the album, "Sweetly Broken", peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Chart during a 20-week stay. However, the single has grown to be a worship staple in churches and on Christian radio stations all over the United States.
In 2009, Riddle released The Now and Not Yet through Varietal Records.

The album has appeared on two charts, Billboard's Hot Christian Albums format (peaking at #15) and the Top Heatseekers (peaking at #11). The first single off the new album is "Bless His Name", written by Jeremy's friend Tony Sanchez. The song charted on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs format, peaking at #36.
In 2010, Riddle released Prepare The Way: Live and in 2011, his newest album,Furious.
