...... JimiJames is vivid. Strikingly bright. Lively. Spirited. Fresh. The gritti-pop star’s electrifying voice and empowering honesty has been winning fans across the globe since her first album The Truth independently debuted in 2006. Her undeniable talent led the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) to request submission of The Truth for GRAMMY consideration. Since then, JimiJames has shared the stage with a host of independents and industry vets, including The Roots, Seal, Erykah Badu, Corrine Bailey Rae, Doug E. Fresh, MC Lyte and others. She’s been featured on top radio shows such as KCRW 89.9 FM DJ Garth Trinidad’s Chocolate City in Southern California, DJ Barry King’s Starpoint Radio in London, and Sirius Satellite Radio’s 1 rated Hip-Hop Nation music segment, DJ Jamad’s Afromentals. ......

Funky, edgy and unafraid— her eclectic style reflects the daring artistry of her early influences; Prince, Madonna, and Cyndi Lauper, along with the soulful vocals of later R&B influences, Missy Elliott and SWV. The visionary singer-songwriter’s music is as vibrant and colorful as the clothes she likes to wear— Lace corsets. Candy red suspenders. Hot pink nail polish. Electric blue eye shadow. Animal prints. Gold chains and purple jackets— She challenges industry standards by moving freely in all directions without leaving her audience behind.
