BIOGRAPHY

Jim BrickmanJim Brickman has revolutionized the sound of solo piano with his pop-style instrumentals and star-studded vocal collaborations.
 
With over 7 million records sold, Brickman’s romantic piano sound has made him the best selling solo piano artist of our time. His signature songwriting style, original music, and unique performances have also brought him six Gold and Platinum selling albums, 30 charted adult radio hits, Grammy nominations in 2003 & 2009, two SESAC “Songwriter of the Year” awards, a Canadian Country Music Award and a Gospel Music Association Dove Award.



His best-known compositions include the chart-toppers “Valentine,” “The Gift,” “Love of My Life,” “Simple Things” and “Peace.” January 2012 saw Jim hold the top three spots on the Top 10 of Billboard’s New Age chart for his albums Love, Romanza and All is Calm.


Brickman has been a strong supporter of PBS, starring in four TV concert specials: Beautiful World (2009), Jim Brickman Live from Disney’s Magic Kingdom (2005), My Romance—An Evening with Jim Brickman (2000) and Love Songs and Lullabies (2002).
 


A native of Cleveland, Brickman began playing piano at the age of five and studied music at the prestigious Cleveland Institute of Music. He founded his own advertising music company in 1980, writing commercial jingles for such advertisers as McDonald’s, Pontiac and Kellogg’s.
 


Other artistic endeavors include a popular weekly radio show, Your Weekend with Jim Brickman; two best-selling books, Simple Things and Love Notes; debuts at Carnegie Hall and the White House; and international touring from Spain to Thailand. His Jim Brickman Cruise have become an annual hot-ticket event. He’s teamed up with American Greetings, lending original music to create some of their best-selling eCards with over 1.7 millions sent to date. Brickman lends a hand to many charitable foundations for children, including Autism Speaks and UNICEF. A scholarship was recently established in his name at the Cleveland Institute of Music.

Music is the soundtrack of life, love or even our everyday adventures, and Jim has given us 15 wonderful years. His songs have done everything from ease the pain to captivate people falling in love. It’s amazing to think that something as simple as a melody can have a lasting effect on emotions and lives.

It's your turn to express your feelings to Jim.  Let him know all the reasons why his music is a part of your life!

Best Birthday Gift Ever It was a pleasure to meet you tonight an listen to your music live for the first time! my husband and I both did two tours in Iraq and it was your music that brought us together and really helped us get through some hard deployments! The first time I ever heard your songs was on a bus from Kuwait to Iraq! My future husband was listening to your music and let me have one ear bud to listen to on the long ride. It was te most beautiful thing I had ever heard and it brought me so much peace in such a horrible place at the time!!! Thank you for writing and playing your music, it has brought light to our hearts and we are for ever grateful for that! Please come to Nashville again soon!

The Gift/Winter Peace Hi Jim, Just finished listening to "The Gift" c/d for possibly the gazillionth time. I'm on my third copy, the first two I lent to family members and I never got them back. One play and it's easy to know why! I want to tell you how much I enjoy all of your records, especially "The Gift." Each song is so beautiful, particularly my all-time favorite track, #8 - Winter Peace. There is simply no more breathtakingly beautiful music in the entire world. When this one very special song plays, I close my eyes and I am transported to a new dimension, and I hope that the music never ends. Everything anyone needs is in that one magnificent song. It is music perfection, pure and simple. I could hear it a million times over, yet each time it plays, it's as if I am listening for the first time. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary talent with us! Because of your incredible gift, the world is truly a better place. Sincerely, Barb Cazaubon p.s. Off to play "All is Calm" - another

Music for my soul Jim, I discovered your music around 15 years ago. I have purchased almost every album you have released, and saw you in concert in Greensboro, NC several years ago. Every night, I fall asleep listening to your music. Your CDs are the only ones in the player. Thank you for providing such inspirational, motivational, and soothing pieces of music for your fans. During times of stress, I play your music and I am instantly at ease. From Anne Cochran to Donny Osmand to Collin Raye and Susan Ashton, this music is one of the major ingredients of my life right now. I hope that you will tour again in the Greensboro, NC area. You are truly a blessing Jim. Submitted By: Robert Evans

By Heart Helped Me Make It Through Radiation Treatments Dear Jim, I found your music several years ago, by chance. I loved it immediately. Currently,your music has been helping me through my very difficult radiation treatments for breast cancer. Radiation treatments progress in their affect on the body and are cumulative. The body can become very overwhelmed. Complicating this, the treatments are also exhausting and anxiety producing. In my own treatments, a point came, that when the beams hit my body, I began to involuntarily shudder badly. One is supposed to stay very still during the treatments. I wasn't sure I could go on. Through a combination of medicines to help me calm down, it was your music, By Heart, that got me through. Your music calmed me, lifted me into a beautiful place and took me away from the horrific treatment. I have one treatment left. Thank you so very, very much. -Bobbi Submitted By: Bobbi

Thanks for your music Jim, I am currently in Afghanistan supporting our troops and serve as a Crew Chief flying re-supply missions to very remote outposts. After a long day flying and with the constant threat of being shot down, I find your music a great escape and calming method to keep me going. Thanks very much and hope to someday catch you live in concert. Merry Christmas, David Clark AAR Airlift Camp Stone, Afghanistan US Navy Retired Chief Petty Officer Submitted By: David Clark
