Jimmy Kent

Artist & performer

Jimmy is your virtual jukebox, blending the timeless and the tasteful to take you wherever and whenever you want to go. With a huge repertoire spanning pop, rock, jazz, swing, musical theatre, funk, soul, folk, americana, and more, you can be listening to Ed Sheeran one minute, Stevie Wonder the next, with a pit-stop in Eagles country, and a big finish with Frank Sinatra.

A singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Jimmy's been on stage since he was 4 years old, and knows how to weave a narrative in words and music. He's attended three of the best music schools in the world (Berklee College of Music, Belmont University, Academy of Contemporary Music), and has performed at the likes of Ronnie Scott's, the London Astoria, Bush Hall, the Royal Albert Hall, and the Houses of Parliament.

Whether a la carte, or themed around a decade, event, writer, performer, or genre, Jimmy's respect for the song and the artist are well-balanced with his drive to make the music his own. His adaptability, positive attitude, and experience with events and audiences of all ages and sizes make him a safe bet that you won't leave disappointed.
