| You gotta love a boy from New Jersey who takes hold of a melody and infuses it with lyrics that tug on your heart…
Meet Jimmy White, singer, songwriter and Adult Contemporary (AC) artist whose songs and productions continue to influence and dominate the ac charts….A self taught pianist, inspired early on by the harmonies and distinctive sound of the cutting edge music of Brian Wilson , White knew from his very first spin of “God Only Knows” that he was at last “Home”…the distinctive fusion of music and lyrics and their development in the recording process continue to be this talented singer and songwriter’s first love….
White’s career as a professional songwriter began while studying at Seton Hall University, when this budding talent sold his first effort to MCA music at age nineteen. Since then, white has published several more songs to his credit namely;
“Lost In An Endless Love With You”, “Lover At First Sight”, “Hanging Onto My Heart”,” You Couldn’t Hold Me Back. and ”You Gave Me.”
Since 2006, Jimmy’s music has dominated the AC charts with songs like “Change My Life” from his smashing debut album,
“One Track Heart”. “Change My Life” rose to number 1 on the STS main Adult Contemporary (AC) chart for 2 weeks, held at number 1 for 15 weeks on the independent AC chart, and delivered this new artist to certain notoriety with a coveted nomination from the prestigious New Music Weekly Magazine as “Best New Artist” for 2006. White’s second number 1 single, “One Track Heart”, dominated the main ac chart for 5 weeks from November 2006 through January 2007 and placed him at the number 4 position on the overall Hot 100 top 40/AC chart, next to John Mayer, Hinder, Beyonce and Christina Aguilera. My My Maria, the third number 1 single from One Track Heart (June 2007), and Sure Feels Like Love, the first number 1 from Jimmy’s second album, Hidden Pictures, translated into two more nominations at the 2007 New Music Awards, for Breakthrough Artist of the year and the prestigious Crossover Artist of the year. As you know by now, Jimmy won the coveted’ Crossover Artist of the year’ award and was a featured performer at the New Music Awards show held at the famous Avalon Theatre in Hollywood, on November 10, 2007. In their November 16, 2007 edition, the editors of New Music Weekly said that Jimmy gave ‘one great vocal performance’ and ‘ put on one hell of a show’.
Jimmy’s new release carries the same tile as his current number one single, ‘Sure Feels Like Love’ and features 4 number one singles and a special bonus track, the holiday inspired ‘I Wish You Peace’, which broke the Top Ten in only 3 weeks on the Independent Music Network in December 2007.
This song will be around for many years to come.
On ‘Sure Feels Like Love’, White collaborates with nationally recognized master musicians like arranger and pianist Ken Kaufman, drummer Mike Caputy, bassist Jerry Livingston, guitarist Frank Grizanti and guitarist and engineer Dave Bellanca. The credits for the above musicians include Whitney Houston, Stephannie mills, Goo Goo Dolls, Rick James, Mikki Howard and many others.
This “Crossover Artist of the year’ winner says modestly of his gifts; I’m just going to do the best with what god gave me”.
Songwriting is Jimmy’s passion and white is happy whenever other inspired musicians try their hand with his well crafted pop songs and you, dear listener, take pleasure with his classics “One Track Heart” and “Hidden Pictures”, and the new for 2008, ‘Sure Feels Like Love’ |
