No matter what the scale of the show is, you have to do your best!”
Jimmy started her journey as a performer in the Capital, and has already presented over a thousand shows across India. “I have done about a hundred performances at small cafes in Delhi-NCR. Delhi crowd often knows what they want, and is full of life and love. When I go up on stage it’s just me and the music — nothing else matters for that duration.

I am going to deliver a show that the audience will remember, with memories they can take back home.
Ask the 26-year-old singer, who is a true artiste? She responds, “Someone whose intentions towards art and the audience are pure, and someone who is aiming for an expression of the self before anything else. I won’t strongly suggest that I’m a part [of the Hindi film Industry] but I’m treading between the film industry and the independent [music] scene. The journey so far has been worthwhile.”
