About Me

Never give up
Never give in
Hold on to your dreams
You can make them real

About Me

I am Jim Offerman, a singer-songwriter from Utrecht, The Netherlands. I make indie pop music that moves you from darkness into light. When you fall down, I pick you up and tell you to hold on. Well, not literally (one would be awfully busy picking everybody up and telling them to hold on), but I do hope my music has that effect on you! It is why I make the stuff.

Actually, I am not just making music for you. It’s also for me! Many of my songs started out with the things that I needed to hear. Speak Up helped me to understand that people won’t know what’s going on with me if I don’t tell them; This Is Me made me work to overcome my self-esteem issues and Hold On To Your Dreams taught me to do just that. Of course, not every song I write has to contain a lesson of sorts - sometimes I am just plain silly, such as when I wrote Cream. My music is dead serious, but also fun.

Start Here

I am currently working on my next album, Start Here. I will record a new song every month for eleven months. I finished the first song, More, on June 22 and the last song will be ready on May 22, 2009. The full album will be released on CD and as a free download one month later, on June 22, 2009.

Patrons

I like giving away my music for free, but I also need to make a living. This is where my patrons come in: they give me financial support and, in return, they get free CDs and access to exclusive content. Best of all, they help me keep my music free for you. Ain’t that grand? Everybody wins!
Would you be interested in becoming a patron too?

Website

On this website you can read about what I’m up to in my blog. You can also listen to and download my music, see where I’ve been and where I am going on tour or buy merchandise and CDs in my shop. If there is anything else I can do for you, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for listening!

Sincerely,
Jim.
