Jim Wilson’s life direction was set when he was given a guitar at age 7, then began composing songs at age 9. Soon after moving from West Texas to LA in his early 20’s, he gained notoriety as a respected piano technician, catering to the highest echelon of the music industry. Jim helped develop the first MIDI-adapter for acoustic piano in the 80’s, which became an instant hit with artists and studios around the world.

Jim also collaborated with Spectrasonics — a leading innovator of world-class, award-winning virtual instrument software plug-ins — on the release of “Keyscape.” Keyscape is a virtual instrument that features the largest selection of unique, collector keyboards in the world and features Jim’s personal, customized Yamaha C7.

Four of Jim’s 10 recordings have hit the Billboard Top-20, he’s had two PBS specials, and his music has been streamed over 75 million times by fans around the globe. NARAS recently made him a “Lifetime Member” of the Recording Academy. He enjoys scuba diving, skiing, pilot lessons, and shares the love of traveling with his life companion of fifteen years, Virginia, a gifted actress and film producer. Tuned In is Jim’s first book.
