We had the good fortune of connecting with Jimii and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi JIMII, we’d love to hear more about your end-goal, professionally.
My end goal is to leave a real and lasting impact on the world of electronic music while helping the industry continue to grow. I hope to one day start a well-respected record label that not only showcases my own music but also serves as a hub for collaboration and growth for other artists. Ultimately, I hope to leave behind a legacy that inspires people to tap into their creativity and connects individuals across the globe through the power of dance music.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is deeply rooted in my passion for electronic music and the incredible sense of connection it creates with those around me. I focus on crafting music that resonates with people on multiple levels, whether through dance, emotion, or community.

Getting to where I am today has been a journey filled with both highs and lows, but I still feel like it’s just the beginning. I’ve faced numerous challenges, from struggling to find my unique sound to overcoming mental hurdles like writer’s block and imposter syndrome, all while navigating the complex world of the music industry. Starting with no prior background in music took a lot of willingness to learn and a refusal to quit. I sought out mentors, collaborated with other artists, and constantly pushed myself to step outside my comfort zone and try new things.

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the value of community. Surrounding myself with people who share the same vision and goals has not only fueled my creativity but has also driven me to leave a meaningful impact. It’s important to remember that success in this industry isn’t a competition; it’s about collective growth and celebrating the achievements of those around you.

What I want the world to know about me is that I’m committed to creating art and connection through music. I hope to inspire others to take risks and tap into their artistic abilities. Ultimately, I want my music to bring people together and remind them of the love and power that electronic music holds.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I can’t say enough about how much my family at TopSecret and the TopSecret Bus have done for me. Their support has been instrumental since the very first day I joined. From providing a creative environment to emphasizing the importance of collaboration in this industry, they’ve helped me grow both as an artist and as a person. They truly deserve recognition for all they do.
