Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Staten Island, music has been his passion for as long as he can remember. He has been fascinated by music at a very young age. His influences vary from many artists, bands and well known DJ’s. At the age 15 years old, he was introduced to music by a friend who also had a passion for music. The two turntables and mixer his friend had, were the start of his love of music. They were mixing old school Hip Hop such as B.IG. and he loved how you change the song just with a turn of a dial or beat. Shortly, thereafter, Jimmy invested buying his own DJ equipment. This is where his journey began with Djing.

Over time the industry got more advanced, records got harder to get, so Jimmy figured he would try using CD’s. Making it much easier and cheaper to get music it was definitely worth it. Adjusting to the changing times he went digital as far as music organization and delivering but, refused to use a laptop ran music program to perform, and still will not use one. As the main talent of LD Artist management, the group is able to create a unforgettable atmosphere and experience setting stages, sound systems, intelligent lighting setups much more. Jimmy concentrate's on crowd reaction and uses music for everybody’s taste that is attending his venues and parties. Jimmy knows how to read the crowd perfectly and take total control over any dance floor.

His influences are of a wide range, some of the most well known DJ’s such as DJ Jonathan Peters, Masi & Mello, Deadmau5, Robbie Rivera, Danny Teneglia, David Guetta as well as many influences from classic and current rock and hiphop artists. He has made various appearances throughout all of New York and New Jersey. He has been booked for various events at Miami's Winter Music Conference in 2011. In addition, he has worked for Freestyle legends TKA, and Sammy Zone providing music for their performances. He has been booked for many Jersey Shore venues with the addition of playing at Atlantic City's Casbah nightclub located in the Taj Mahal Hotel. A talent not to be missed. After taking a 10 year break from the scene, he's back and blazing through radios in people cars, playlists and making appearances again with a whole new variety of genres, dynamics twists and tricks.
