Jim Photoglo
Jim Photoglo has musically spanned four decades as both a songwriter and artist, bringing his unique creative voice to the R&B, Pop and Country arenas. Growing up in Los Angeles, he began playing in bands as a teenager but never considered music as a "career" until he was in his early 20's. Photoglo reminisces, "I wanted to get out of L.A., so I took to the highway 'James Taylor' style with an acoustic guitar, a sleeping bag and a lot of time to think...and all I thought about was music." Returning to Los Angeles with music as a career goal, Photoglo began paying the usual dues. He took every kind of gig from playing in a funeral band to putting together a group to back John Belushi's "Joe Cocker" imitation at a party for Paul McCartney. Since that time he has continued a successful solo career as well as opening for the Beach Boys, singing backup for Andy Gibb and fostering recordings of his songs by a variety of artists including James Ingram and the Everly Brothers.
