JIMMY JAMES - ENTERTAINER Singer / Songwriter / Performance Artist / Voice Impressionist.
Before taking the dance floors by storm with his recent world wide hit "FASHIONISTA" in 2007, Jimmy James found a certain amount of fame in the mid '80s and '90s for his eerie and uncanny visual and vocal impersonation of the late great Marilyn Monroe. He was also known for his spot on Voice Impressions of famous stars such as: Cher, Billie Holiday, Eartha Kitt, Barbra Streisand, Bette Davis, Judy Garland, Diana Ross, Madonna, Macy Gray, Patsy Cline, Karen Carpenter, and many more...

By 1998 he turned his attention to the Dance floor, and reinvented himself as a recording artist with "Who Wants To Be Your Lover" on Interhit Records. The single was produced by top shelf Music Producers the Berman Brothers. Also Chris Cox and Barry Harris who later became 'Thunderpuss.'
The music video for "Who Wants To Be Your Lover" proved to be very popular in the Dance Clubs across the US and the single itself hit #1 in Japan.

"FASHIONISTA" HITS BIG!
Still wishing and struggling to release another record, it would not happen again until 2006 when the self-penned "FASHIONISTA" (Made Records) got major distribution. Currently the single is played in Dance clubs, Fashion shows and sometimes on television around the world. "FASHIONISTA" is from the album 'JAMESTOWN' (a concept album with all lyrics written by Jimmy James). The album is available on iTunes and at Best Buy, Amazon, Virgin, FYI, Border Books etc...

ONWARD & UPAWARD!
