Jimmy Charles is making a name for himself as a country music star in the making and philanthropist creating music that makes a difference. Born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Jimmy moved to Music City in 2008 and was quick to become an active and viable member of the singer/songwriter and performing community. He’s since played every famed Nashville honky tonk, traveled across the U.S. to share the stages with Travis Tritt, Josh Turner, Lady A, Montgomery Gentry, Kip Moore, Kacey Musgraves, Love & Theft, LoCash, and Merle Haggard.  His career catapulted when American Idol talent producers recognized his talents to cast him as a contender on the nationally televised reality entertainment show in 2010 (Season 9).    Jimmy’s journey led him to use his platform to further his purpose in the fight against cancer. As the brainchild and spearhead of the “I Am Not Alone,” a 501c3 non-profit organization founded to spread hope, strength, and unity to survivors, he delivers powerful music while creating a supportive community so NO ONE feels alone. 

Jimmy’s philanthropic passion and commitment in the fight against cancer led him to earn the “Outstanding Young Tennessean” Award (2017) and the National “Top Ten Outstanding Young Americans” Award (2019), using music to heal and save lives.   Jimmy’s radio release, “Bout Summertime,” charted in the Top 100 on the MusicRow Country Breakout; the corresponding music video can be seen in regular rotation at Nashville Honky Tonks, various nightclubs, bars, and restaurant locations (including Margaritaville), as well as casinos and retail outlets across the U.S.  Jimmy’s latest single and music video release, “Hard Way To Go,” the title track off his album, has been nothing short of incredible. The video premiered on CMT.com and hit #1 on The Country Network. Partnering with American Addiction Centers and Vertava Health, the powerful piece and lifesaving project has helped over 160 people to commit to the road to recovery to date. 

In 2020 Jimmy won Nashville Industry Music Awards “Song of the Year” for "Never Had a Bad Day” and "Male Country Artist of the Year" At the end of the day, no doubt, Jimmy Charles is a person of “heart,” poised to make a difference in the country music sector and dedicated to making a difference in our lives.
