Hi, I’m a music producer currently based between Margate, London, and a pioneering eco-village in Portugal called Traditional Dream Factory.
Right now I’m primarily releasing dance and ambient music as Jimmi King and doing bespoke composition for sync - mainly commercials. I also produce for other artists, and the world of contemporary dance.
Clients include: Virgin Media / Google / HSBC / KFC / Eurostar / BBC 6 Music / Wella / Skoda / Avon / Wagamama / Rimmel London / Yello / Original Source / Amazon / Deliveroo / O2 / Apple / U-Switch / Target / Xumo / etc
My musical journey started as a 2y/o learning piano from two music-teaching parents with my legs hanging down from the piano stool, not quite long enough to reach the pedals. Teenage years playing guitar in indie and tech-metal bands, and then a 1st and the top-level scholarship from the School of Audio Engineering in Oxford. I spent 5 years touring the world as one half of the acclaimed house-music duo NVOY, and have since done many different projects in many different genres. Here’s what I’m working on right now:

This is my main artist project right now, integrating ambient and hypermelodic music into UKG, house, and techno. I’m developing a yin/yang approach to releases and live shows; doing club sets as well as live ambient sets in collaboration with yoga studios and other intentional / sacred spaces.

This project is with my friend Conner Turner, which was championed early on by Radio 1 DJs Skream & Benga, Danny Howard, and Annie Mac. We signed to Black Butter / Sony Music and toured extensively - Europe / USA / Asia - also picking up Radio 1’s ‘Hottest Record in the World. DJ highlights include Glastonbury, Bestival, EDC Vegas, Motion Bristol, and The Exchange LA.
