BIOGRAPHY of JIM OLIVER January 6, 2024 www.JimOliverMusic.com www.JimOliverMusic.com/HarmoniesOfLight Jim@JimOliverMusic.com Multi keyboardist Jim Oliver is an Emmy Award winning accomplished musician and composer of more than 3500 hours of transformational self-healing music and a dynamic presenter on a wide variety of programs. Jim began his lifelong musical journey at age 5 when he took his first formal piano lesson. Lessons continued for 9 years. Jim then at age 14 Jim attended The Hartford Conservatory of Music. At 16 he studies at Julius Hartt School of Music and ultimately at 18 he majored in classical organ and also double majored in Music Education at Hartt College of Music. He then spent 8 years on the road performing in show rooms and fine dinner theaters across the US and Canada including at the Las Vegas Hilton and at Harrah’s at Lake Tahoe. In 1981 he intently began his studies and research on the beneficial power of music. Jim has played more than 75,000 hours of music in his lifetime so far including ~ 15,000 hours of live performance and tens of thousands of hours of practice, practice and more practice. Jim brings forth musical and unique combinations of sustained tones, melodic notes and chord progressions that expands one’s consciousness and speaks to your heart and soul. Jim’s music is a beautiful blend of art and science that is immediately deeply engaging and rejuvenating. Debra Poneman says, “Jim Oliver’s music is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. You don’t listen to this music, you experience it. In fact, every cell of your body experiences it. It creates coherence in your brain and opens you to an influx of light, love and deep peace. I truly believe this music is a technique for spiritual awakening. His music is magical and incredibly healing. I would go to the ends of the earth for Jim Oliver’s music”. Bruce Lipton calls Jim’s music “calming yet intellectually energizing. Your compositions significantly lower EEG vibrations, taking listeners to low alpha and/or theta frequencies. These brain frequencies are perfect for introducing new thoughts into consciousness”. Jim is passionate about helping people self-heal and experience transformation through the power of sound. His music invites the human spirit to remember how awesome and divine it truly is. Jim’s music can help to restore balance and harmony to the body, mind, spirit and emotions and it additionally integrates cellular healing and creates coherence in the field. Each person will have their own unique experience and you will immediately feel the transformative power of Jim’s music. Jim has recently developed Harmonies of Light – a unique, coordinated music and lighting system that “plays” the mathematically related and harmonized colors of the musical notes on his keyboards simultaneously as he plays the music. Jim also integrates live Cymatics into Harmonies of Light which provides a visual image of the bass note’s waveforms in water. Bass is a carrier wave for the higher frequencies. These combined elements offer a refined, expanded, coherent and resonant field for self-healing and self-awareness and full integration of Your True Self – True Freedom – True Liberation. Jim's beautiful and soulful music has been found to encourage self healing for people from all over the world. Jim presented a top rated 12 show series called Music Meditations and Inner Journeys on the World Puja Network. He has played live music at the United Nations Church Center with Croatian healer Braco. He also was invited to a special meditation for world peace in the UN building’s meditation room.
