Now retired from a life 'on the road' as a freelance keyboard player, I compose and record in my home studio, situated in the Carrick Hills in Southern Scotland. My music is mainly instrumental in nature and is a reflection of my life experience, sometimes real and sometimes imagined.
My influences are many and I have quite probably been shaped by listening to the very many "giants" of music, both players and composers. From classical to contemporary jazz and everything in between. My main instrument is the keyboard, whether that be piano, organ or synth. But I also play banjo, flute and percussion. I have a special relationship'with bass, whether upright or electric and use virtual and synth basses from numerous sources, but mainly Trilian by Spectrasonics.

At age thirteen I discovered my love for music and wrote my ﬁrst two songs, “Hair” and “Beauty Queen.” Being a girly-girl, I wrote happy pop songs about pretty things but eventually dove into exploring different styles of music. I even got a karaoke machine to practice singing. I was discovering all types of music but my heart belonged to pop. I was sixteen with a dream of music and fame.
Some years later, I got into a studio to learn about recording and production. I worked with a guy named Milton in the Bronx, NY. He taught me almost everything I know. At our first session he had me write and arrange a song in 30 minutes. We recorded it the same night. He couldn’t believe I had never recorded before. Since then I have worked with several other producers, which was a great way to get different input to shape my unique style.
My drive to make music and eventually get signed, led to the completion of my first EP, Genesis, which debuted September 16 ‘08. I wrote and co-produced all of the songs and even feature my Japanese language skills in a track called “Ride it (Sore ni Notte).” Genesis spawned four singles and three music videos. My music and videos have been featured on various Radio, internet and television outlets including: Blogtalk Radio, UCLA Radio, KTU.com, Z100.com, Toronto TV and WPIX morning news.
I am heavily influenced by: Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Pink, Cyndi Lauper,Kylie Minogue, and Robyn. My style of music is a blend of pop and electro dance beats. I love unique sounding and catchy rhythms.
I released my second EP, “Femme Fatale,” in late 2010. My video for my second single, “Shadow Dancer,” was one of the 1st 3D Music Videos. My third EP, “Model behavior was released 2014 and my most recent work, "Holograms" in 2019. I have performed at venues such as: NJ Bears Stadium, Pianos, The Bitter End, Tokyo Japan, Rainbow Bar, Poisson Rouge and the NYC Marathon. I have also been nominated  for best pop female  in the 2016 LDM Music awards.  Besides my music, I keep busy by writing for other artists, licensing, dancing, acting and modeling. I have also been involved in charity works especially helping children with foundations such as Songs of Love and Tunes for Tots. I am constantly evolving and discovering the world through music and want to share the experience.

Während Max Mustermann sein mustergültiges Dasein fristet, tanzt Jim Anders gerne mal aus der Reihe. Der Berliner Künstler Jim Anders steht für tanzbare elektronische Sounds und Texte am Puls der Zeit. Beeinflusst von vielseitigen urbanen Musikstilen, kreiert er einen ganz eigenen mitreißenden Sound. Seine Texte mit Tiefgang geben dabei Raum zur Reflektion. Wo energetische Beats auf modernen Elektropop treffen, wird der Großstadtdschungel zur Leinwand und der Rausch im Club tanzbar.



Als Soundtüftler und Sänger führte ihn sein breites musikalisches Interesse auf Ausflüge in Elektro Duos, Rap- und Avantgarde Projekte, wodurch er sein Talent entwickelt hat, unterschiedliche Stilrichtungen neu zu denken und sie zu etwas Einzigartigem zu mixen. Das Ergebnis ist die 1. veröffentlichte Jim Anders EP Lauf!, die in Eigenregie im heimischen Studio bei BaumSoundBerlin entstanden ist und mit 6 kraftvollen Tracks aufwartet. Moderne Musik kann auch anders - reinhören, aufdrehen, abgehen!
