DJ/VJ Jimmy Olsen. Born and raised in the UK's South-West Jimmy always wanted to be an astronaut (I know, so original) until creative technologies and processes got in the way.

21 years later came the move to Auckland NZ where, as a director, editor, designer, producer, photographer, dj & vj, he's feeling pretty happy with it all so far.Since the big move he has popped up on Fleet FM , George FM and at Yam Jams with Elbo-E.

2008 saw Jimmy team up with VJ Grafix to form ‘Nude On The Moon’ which started with Grafix providing visuals while Jimmy mixed the music. A year later both members mix and vj at the same time, not only other artists music, but also special video remixes made by themselves. Added ot this the fact they project two sets of visuals onto on three screens, one of which is a weather balloon they are not a group to be missed. You can see them at there regular gigs at the Butter Bank in Whangarei.

Jimmy, not losing sight of where he started, still continues with solo ventures. 2009 saw the release of LISTEN WITH VISION. A visual mixtape showcasing not only his prowess on the turntables but also his ability to finding random, interesting videos from a vast range of arts and culture (no screen-savers here) and connect them to the music he is mixing. He also became a semi finalist in the Jr Jedi Competition held at Trench bar and run by Dj Phillipa.

2009 also saw him tour the country as the Dj/Vj for AKIL the Mc (Jurassic 5) covering Queenstown, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington and Auckland, with radio spots and Red Bull Live studio set in between.

With his boundless enthusiasm and eclectic selections, it's impossible to pin this man down so be prepared for anything and everything!
