Sound
Biography
Growing up Status Quo was the first big inspiration for Jim, followed by Thin Lizzy and AC/DC. As a teenager Jim put in a lot of time and work on his voice, both on his own and with different teachers. Jim has always been a melody maker and an important part of the Alien sound. With six solo albums and the fourth Alien album, Into The Future, on its way Jim still has the hunger and power in his voice.
