About Me

Hello everybody, im the jimbo jett.I'm currently living in west London and spend most of my time playing the drums and making music. My first love is music, playing, listening, producing and experiencing. It can be fast, slow, loud, soft, complex, simple it doesn't matter, anything that makes me listen or groove.I'm actually writing a lot of music at the moment so I'll try and get that up asap.I've been playing for 13 years officially, but was annoying the hell out of my mum on the pots and pans long before that! I dont have a particular style, i've played rock, reggae, pop, funk, latin and jazz extensively, but essentially im just a groover.im playing in a wicked band at the moment, a fiery female fronted, rootsy, rural mash-up! Nuala and the Retrobates. I've been a retrobate for a while now and really love everything about the band, great music, great people and great times!I love festivals! i live my summers on the road going from one festival to another, mostly playing now, but occasionally working for my friends from the most exciting mexican caterers on this planet - pura vida.Originally, im from Sidmouth in Devon and have the most amazing set of friends from there, 'The Kru', who are now dotted around the country and who i love very much. We had the most insane time growing up!I suppose thats it, thats me. playsafe y'all!
