TRIUMPHANT HOMECOMING FOR NATIVE AMERICAN SINGING STAR JIMMY LEE YOUNG!
-
Incredible news! Jimmy Lee Young has exploded with another national award win, just 5 days after winning 7th Annual Native American Music Awards " Song/Single of the Year for his song, ' One Voice One Cry!'. This time Jimmy has been honored by capturing The First Americans in The Arts Awards' "Outstanding Musical Achievement" Award!
-
Jimmy, is quickly capturing the EYES and EARS of the music industry, and turning heads with his latest recording, "MAYA". Those living just north of Los Angeles may have noticed the image of Jimmy splashed across the pages of local newspapers 2 weeks ago, when Jimmy was nominated twice at this years NAMA Awards held in Fort Lauderdale last week, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
-
" This is so surreal", said Jimmy with that trademark grin." My drummer and co-executive producer, Gil Gabaldon II, have been working all this time, and then BANG! All at once we captured two national awards in one week. I guess this is it, and it feels great! Gil and I are still in shock!"
-
And that's not all. After spending the better part of last winter and early spring recording 'MAYA", the singer/songwriter was also busy writing the next CD. " I have committed myself to several things. I want to write a song for each one of the Native American tribes. I want a piece of all native culture to survive in this music, through the spirit of one of their own artists. That's why my projects have such an eclectic mix of songs. Some of them are to this end, others are inspired by my experiences as a modern native living between two worlds. Others by what I see and experience all around me in these times we live in. I guess if you write what you really feel, you are bound to make something that is interesting and unique."
-
Jimmy will be featured next month on, among others, Two Worlds Radio, Tampa Florida.The "FAITA Awards' , which have been recently graced with such artists as Adam Beech, and toiled over by such great names as actress Lindsey Wagner, will be held March 12, in Beverly Hills. He credits the efforts of people like Ellen Bello, and Donald Kelly of the Native American Music Awards, and Shawna Clay of the First Americans In The Arts awards, for helping to make Native American Music a powerful new genre in modern music.Highlights of this year's Nammy awards? " Well, I won, and I got to sing with Crystal Gayle, who my mom really liked. And they throw an INCREDIBLE afterparty!"
-
" These folks dedicate their lives to what they do.", he adds. "They have done so much for Native artists, and I know what I am seeing are Native artists giving that back by telling the world about their efforts, and drumming up support through wider recognition." That and the efforts of Daryl Dragon, the "Captain" of classic/current duo,"The Captain and Tennille.
-
" Daryl heard my first CD, 'APACHE' ,and immediately had me put up a website that he still keeps up.He also showed me where to put my energies in pursuing a career. He is incredibly insightful, and has all but fixed what ails the music industry, with his online concept called Surferzrule!, which I have also dedicated myself to.( visit www.surferzrule.com ). In these times of blending genres, and digital downloads, it is the next logical step in a rapidly evolving music industry."
-
With artists like Felipe Rose of the Village People, Martha Redbone, Micki Free, and NAMA's female artist of the year, Yolanda Martinez, Jimmy is taking Native Music to new heights. Inducted into the Native American Music "Rat Pack" by Felipe Rose, Jimmy with feathers in his hair, is soaring to new heights.
