Jim van der Zee, born in the Netherlands, is a passionate artist and songwriter.
Inspired by his father, who played songs at his bedside, Jim started practising guitar at the age of 6. Later he studied vocals and guitar at the conservatory. In the summer months, Jim spent his time travelling through Europe and America. Using his old camper as a portable home, Jim managed to live from the gifts thrown into his guitar case.
After playing at bars, surf camps and on the streets for years, Jim decided to share his music with a larger audience. In 2017/2018 he joined āThe Voice of Hollandā. Jim became the winner of the show and started to tour around the Dutch festivals and theatres.
On top of that, Jim released his first album āWhere I Come Fromā. An album filled with songs from the legends that inspired him.
To record his new album āStarting the Engineā, Jim built a professional studio with his own hands in his student home in Amsterdam. A new start, the adventure continues .ā¦
