In 2011, Loops released his self-titled EP.[4] His debut album Trading Change was released March 2014 in South Africa.[5] The album was released in North America and South America via Yebo Music in August 2015, and in Europe and Australia in February 2016.[6] He toured the United States as a support slot on Rebelution's "Winter Greens Tour",[7] followed with two headline US tours of his own, The Jeremy Loops US Tour[8] and the Trading Change Tour.[9] He ended 2015 supporting Twenty One Pilots on the European leg of their Blurryface Tour.[10] With three shows remaining, the tour was cancelled following the November 2015 Paris attacks.[11]
