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!

Aloha Cruise Hi Jim: I'm still smiling each day with the memories of such a wonderful cruise to the Hawaiian Islands. Thanks to you and your staff for planning such a great cruise for all of us to enjoy. My head is still bouncing to the tune of Fa La La. Can't wait for it to come out this Christmas....a smashing hit I am sure. My thought on a name for your new song on your album "Romanza" was just simply "Amore'" meaning love in Italian. The day after I got back from the cruise my family and I had my dear husband's military memorial service & buried his ashes. Not great timing but family schedules are hard to coordinate. At the end of the service my granddaughter sat on the ground beside his grave with her guitar & sang "Live Like You Were Dying." Not a dry eye among us but the words said it all! Music can touch so many lives in so many different ways. That day it healed the sorrow we all felt. The cruise & this service brought much needed closure & peace back to my life once

love My husband introduced me to the music of Jim Brickman and we listened to it constantly. I still remember the first song I listened to and how it made me feel. I also remember listening to JB the moment I realized I was in love with my now husband. We have gone to several of his concerts and every time it makes our bond stronger.

thank you for your heart I really want to thank you for putting on concerts, although ive never been i know one day i will make it to one. You have made almost everyday for the past 15 years a brighter day. I can be having the worst day in the world and trust me I ve had more than plenty, between divorce, death, sadness, and everything you could possibly imagine that ive gone through. Your music somehow got me through it. It touches people deeply. I have three kids, working on my second marriage, and been at the rock bottom for a while. So when I here your music and it lifts my spirits and hopes even for a second, just remember if nothing else you change someones life everyday. Thank God for you and for all you do for others.. you truely are blessed. Thanks one of your faithful listeners, ashley. Submitted By: ashley grover

elevator music i heard your songs in an hotel elevator in hongkong for the first time 10 years ago. it sought me thruh one of the the worst weeks of my life. i searched for the songs and the artist for two years. when i finally found the cd, i knew that nothing could ever replace what is meant to be. the hero's dream really helped me to make more, of what was there. and more than that. when i need to find solid ground, i get into my bathtub and the music that is playing, is yours. a good friend of mine is a musical thearpist dealing with mentally and corporally handicapped children. he asked me to get your album 'no words' for him in the u.s. he has got it by now. and, having listened to it. i know why he wanted it. i know that i can never afford you playing at my wedding. but, when i marry the man of my dreams; 850.000 miles and 5 years later, he has proven to be just that, your music will be in my heart. thank you for the heros dream, mister brickman.

Hello Jim, my name is Cody. I am a 15 year old who is just starting marching band. This year I am wanting to broaden my instrument range from just being able to play the trumpet to being able to play the piano and some other woodwinds. One of the reasons why I decided that piano would be the first instrument that I would learn to play because of listening to a lot of your music. I know that my generation's definition of music is hip hop and rap, but there is something that intrigues me when listening to your music and the genre you play. A lot of people in my grade and at my high school don't take the time and appreciate the kind of music you play, but some how I do. My favorite song that you wrote would probably be Lake Erie Rainfall. I guess I like it because you make the dirtiest of the great lakes sound so beautiful. Thank You for writing such great music. Sincerely, Cody Submitted By: Cody

Jim's music Your music is a calming balm in a chaotic world. I work in the purchasing department for a defense contractor and needless to say, it is STRESSFUL. I have a Jim Brickman "station" on Pandora and can listen with my earbuds at work. It really keeps me calm. I have a number of the albums and I love them all. I really really love "Faith" . I love to listen to that while I do bible study. It's perfect. Thank you for such wonderful music (I did see you in Waco TX several years ago.. I volunteered at the theater). Hope you enjoy HI. God bless. Submitted By: Lucy Horton
