Bio
Born James Patrick Page, "Jimmy James Page" followed the advice of someone at BMI and changed his "professional name" so as not to be confused with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin who shares the same first, middle and last name. (Could you imagine receiving one of his royalty checks?)
Growing up in New Jersey in the 60s, when radio was much freer, he was in love with the music of both the Beatles and the Temptations. He began piano lessons at a young age, had his first garage band by the age of 12 and was soon playing at school events. At his first public appearance he sang and played "Good Lovin" by the Rascals to a room full of his classmates....and nuns. After graduating college with degrees in history and music, he ditched the law school idea and headed straight for San Francisco where he has been playing music professionally since.
As much as he loves keyboards, it has always been the songs and the singing that matter most to him. Musically, his pop songs combine elements of blues, gospel, jazz and rock. Among his many awards, Jimmy James is a two-time winner of the West Coast Songwriters' “Song of the Year Award”.
