Jimmy's personal story is one of triumph over adversity overcoming drug addiction, petty crime and homelessness to become a music star and a mentor to a generation of youngsters in his native Birmingham as a youth worker.
You may know T8PES for their England Euro 2020 Anthem "This is Football" (which features Jack Cattell & Zoë Phillips) and a long term collaboration with Ed Sheeran (including playing together at Glastonbury)
"..A real hybrid, it was truly something unique which is why we need to hear more of it: not least because his words, often brutally honest, not only range far beyond the usual territory of rap (and he has a great conventional singing voice too) in terms of both themes & vocabulary: there was very little repetition of phrases on show at all.... I'd certainly start a campaign to get them playing more." ("Hot Music Live").
