Growing up in the 1980s in the middle of nowhere in the Weserbergland, Jimmy was quickly and easily influenced by legends like Richie Havens, John Lee Hooker, Dion, Chuck Berry, Elvis and Johnny Cash.
His artistic career really gained momentum in the early 1990s when he moved to Hamburg. As a member of various formations, but especially as a solo musician, he quickly became known far beyond the city’s borders. In 2007, his solo debut Rhythm Of Hells – Songs Of Angels History was released, in which Cornett set the shared history of the Hells Angels to music with music legends such as Janis Joplin, Rolling Stones, Jerry Garcia, Johnny Cash and Hank Williams.
The frontman of the band Jimmy Cornett and the Deadmen can be seen and especially heard live on stage several times – definitely don’t miss it!
