'Born in Tulle in Corrèze in the early 80s, I started playing guitar at the age of 13, after discovering rock through bands like Guns'n'Roses and Les Pixies. I started my apprenticeship with a classical training before totally switching to rock at the age of 16. I started my first band during this period, the first concerts at 17, first as a guitarist then guitarist/singer a few years later.
After my studies I went to Paris to satisfy my passion for music in 2005. Following various experiences in groups, I decided to set up my solo project, JIMM, a mix of everything I listen to: rock, punk and metal from the 80s to the 2000s, with guitar solos and lyrics in French.
My first eponymous album was released in 2013 (produced by Francis Caste)
My second album 'IN[CAN]DECENCE' (produced by Fred Duquesne) was released in October 2015 (distributed by Season of Mist), an album relayed by the national press (Rock'n'Folk, Guitare Xtreme Magazine, FrancoFans, KR Home Studio). My track 'je cherche à m'endormir' was selected for the compilation KR Découvertes 2016. Several clips from these 2 albums are being broadcast on D17 / Cstar.
My third album, mixed by Fred Duquesne, is scheduled for mid 2018.
Since 2013 I have given about fifty concerts in France and Belgium, and at the same time I accompanied the Australian rock singer Simon Chainsaw on his European tour in spring 2016.
My favorite guitarists are Slash, Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde, Jack E.Lee, R.Blackmore, Mark Tremonti and blues in general. As for my songwriting, I like simple and effective things. On this point my influences mix French rock (TRUST), rock of the early 90s (Therapy?), rock / metal of the early 2000s (Deftones, Creed / Alter Bridge, Papa Roach, Muse, Finch), and punk bands (Ramones, Rise Against, Sex Pistols).
I play Gibson Les Paul (Classic, Standard and Custom), Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and Marshall JCM 800 amps.
I also give guitar lessons in Paris.'
