JHIMM - NEW ARTIST - Maybe Crossover?

                                                   

Hi Utnapishtim,

Thank you for mentioning me and my album, Between the Waves. I'm glad you enjoyed it. If there's any information you need from me, please let me know.

Thanks

Absolutely.

This is my short bio:

Jason is a keyboard player and has been experimenting with recording for over 22 years and has worked professionally with many local and national acts. His influences stem from the progressive rock genre and include artists such as Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd and Genesis among others."

All vocals, drums, keyboards, guitar and bass on Between the Waves were performed and programmed by Jason Himm.

The album "Between the Waves" is jhimm's debut album and was released in January of 2014.

Thank you very much for listening and remember to support independent artists.

I can absolutely second Utnapishtim's suggestion of giving Jhimm a place on Progarchives. Between the Waves is an excellent album which deserves more interest. I think Peter Gabriel's solo stuff is a big influence on the album. 

This artist hasn't yet been picked up by the team (nothing on progfreak), so any Crossover team members passing through...??

Keeping my brother on the top of the forum....

Hi all,

I'd like to thank you guys for your support. I've been playing and writing since I was 13 (41 now) and I just recently started attempting to sing and write "songs". The singing needs a lot of work, I know. But I'm hoping with more confidence and more practicing and a sh*t ton of processing, my voice will get better. It was a recent conversation with echolyn guitarist Brett Kull that inspired me to even release this stuff. A simple question from him, "So what is your plan with this album?". Before then I was uploading to Soundcloud and basically giving it away to anyone who would listen.Then I put it up on Bandcamp and I believe it was the third sale (of not very many) that was the suspect that put it up on the p2p file sharing sites. At first I was a little pissed. I mean it wasn't a scumbag record company bigwig they were stealing from. It was a middle-class guy with a daughter attending a college there was no way he could afford without creating a boatload of debt. But as it turns out, I was dead wrong. Because now my album was being listened to in Russia, China, the Philippines. And I was getting requests for album reviews from France and England. And Greek Youtubers wanted to do videos for my songs. And I'm sure all of this is possible because of p2p. Most importantly, I've been privileged to meet some wonderful, caring, creative people ( I'm looking at you Fishy) with whom I can talk about great music and maybe create some in the process. This is starting to sound like an acceptance speech. Lol. It's not. I'm just humbled by the support from my fellow prog lovers, of whom most are way more talented and deserving than I. This seemed like as good enough place as any to gush so there you go. Thank you and I hope one day I can get the opportunity to return the favor.

Best regards,
Jay
