California native Jimmy Gimelli has showcased his musical presence throughout the globe for more than two decades. Illuminating stages from the Spanish steps of Rome to the red carpets of Hollywood, this young vibrant performer exudes vivacious charisma and silky vocal finesse far beyond his years. Some have compared him to Harry Connick Jr. or Frank Sinatra and others to Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye, but all agree that he has an original, captivating character that is truly a dying breed. Not only does his voice carry an unmistakable resonance, Jimmy will also often call upon his arsenal of 7 instruments, including the tenor sax, piano, and guitar. His ensemble of seasoned musicians changes frequently in size and personnel due to the demand of his many genres. Sometimes, the evening calls for an intimate setting with just Jimmy on piano singing the songs reminiscent of Sinatra, Louie Prima or Chet baker. Other occasions may call for his full mini orchestra to swing the evening back to the golden years of Sinatra.  Although, his expertise is far from limited to Jazz.  Fluent in the language of music, he has also spent years studying and perfecting his knowledge and abilities in Afro Cuban, Doo Wop, Soul, 70’s Funk and Disco, Hip Hop, Rock, Alternative, Blues, Reggae, Ska, and after a year long tour of Italy, even today’s Electronic and House music. His compositions and productions have filled more than 5 albums and have been licensed through his publishing company and recording studio to major motion picture giants like Paramount. He’s shared the stage with names like Jerry Lee Lewis, Chris Isaac, Royal Crown Revue, Lewis Lymon, The Moonglows, Hepcat, Robert Gordon, Slim Jim (from the Stray Cats) and The Moonlites at venues like “The Festival Del Cinema” in Rome, Italy, The House of Blues in both Hollywood and Anaheim, The Viper Room, the world famous Derby in Hollywood, The Viva Las Vegas Festival and The Cool Bobby B Doo Wop Convention in Las Vegas, DNA Discotecha in Southern Italy, and the 50’s Rock fest in Greenbay, WN to name a few. Strengthened by every performance, his true love for music can be heard in every note.
