GLOBAL CHILLIN'

About Me


"It's very simple, actually, I'm just a guy doing his best to live life a certain, chillin' way, and in the process I'm writin' and singin' songs about it. Hopefully it's a message we can all live with..........."
In a phrase, the music and lyrics of Jim Stevens, and his latest cd “BeDo”, “Just Make You Feel Better”. What's unusual, though, is that they do this, in general, by accentuating the positive aspects, feelings and perspectives of life instead of the negative. Take a listen… If you feel, through all the negativity, stress, aggression, hypocrisy, struggling and despair there seems to be on planet Earth these days, that the world could and SHOULD be a better place, that we could all be kinder, better, more excellent to each other, and that life should be fun, you agree with Jim. If you love to sing, be happy, positive, and live in the moment, then you and Jim have a lot in common. You and Jim should chill together. Get rid of stress. You may even find yourself getting introspective and “deep” here and there as you sing along to songs on “BeDo”, without even noticing! Oh, and it’s great driving music, too. Did we say FUN?
You name the type of music style or project, and Jim has more than likely sung or done it, everything from playing Manhattan venues in rock bands and acts of all sorts to developing and singing in full-fledged musicals, to singing in acoustic trios in Texas, to singing commercials, etc, etc. He has recorded albums in bands and as a solo artist under a different name. Yet “BeDo”, his newest release, he considers truly his first "real" album, one that comes on the heels of major life changes over the last couple of years. During and just after these changes and events, Jim took the time and got totally re-connected with what he feels is really important in all our lives, both individually and collectively, as we cruise through our journeys on this planet. The result is “BeDo”, and Jim is proud to truly call it not his own, but OUR own……take a listen...let it grow on you...it might just make you feel like smilin'...
This music is FROM and FOR everyone, to help lighten our loads and help us all “just feel better!”
Altogether, Jim Stevens and “BeDo” provide a clean, crisp, thought-provoking musical take on our times. Pop it in, turn it up, and enjoy life a little, or maybe even a LOT, more!
Peace and fun to all! Keep on Smilin’…
