Jim has been fascinated with music since he was a child. He began learning piano when he was nine and then moved onto classical guitar at age 11. At the same time he was learning about Terrega he also had a love for the heavy metal music of the early ninety's.

These days Jim is working as a session musician and a music producer for small and large scale projects both in the private and public sector. He has had the privilege of working with some fantastic companies and people over the years and is looking forward to releasing more music in the coming months.

As a part of his educator role he was generously gifted an Oud by Dr Naseer Shamma UNESCO Artist for Peace. He is currently working through the curriculum at the Bait Al Oud in Dubai remotely to establish the first Oud house in the Pacific.
