Artist Listening Party ~ JimiJames

JimiJames is Gritti-pop. The self-proclaimed “Rah Rah Girl” deliberately draws outside the lines and jumps off the page with her electrifying voice and empowering honesty. Her infectious Gritti-pop sound is raw, uninhibited, and all inclusive. The visionary singer-songwriter has collaborated with several established producers, including Soulshock and Karlin (Mary J. Blige, Usher, Fantasia), Derek “Big Tank” Thorton (Aaliyah, Timberland), Karriem Riggins (Common, Erykah Badu, Slum Village) and more. JimiJames’ latest independent release, So Janky is available on iTunes and cdbaby.com. The L.A. native sets herself apart as a top notch performer who holds her own whether she’s performing with award-winning music veterans at The Roots Annual Pre-Grammy Jam Session or with fellow independents at the Dallas City Arts Festival. Her signature sound is irreverent, fun, sexy and always soulful. JimiJames is also responsible for the WILDCARD Sunday Series held at the Purple Lounge inside the famous Standard Hotel in West Hollywood, CA. WILDCARD served as an indie-artist platform and the perfect brand for JimiJames who performs with no boundaries, moving freely in various directions without leaving her audience behind. JimiJames has been tagged by several disc jockeys, radio hosts, and music writers as one of the top artists to watch for in 2010.. “As a veteran of KCRW 89.9fm music programming, I must make you aware of my personal recommendation. Jimi is a fresh, independent voice in R&B and is an example of the type of artist that deserves nomination in the "Best Urban Alternative Performance" Grammy Awards category. I for one am working on behalf of Jimi to expose and promote her work through my radio show, live events, and music supervision for film and TV. -Garth Trinidad CONTACT MANAGEMENT: Munir Bashir Mahmud NexLyfe/ Swat Team Ent.
