Jim Molyneux is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer/producer hailing from Littleborough, near Manchester, now based in Stoke Newington, East London.
He studied at Chethams School of Music for five years before moving on to the Royal Northern College of Music, where he graduated from in 2013.
In 2008 Jim made it to the highly acclaimed Grand Final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year, after beating off national competition to triumph in the percussion section. The Grand Final was televised on BBC2 to 1.1 million viewers.
