Jim Bakkum

Although Jim has been playing in bands and musicals from a young age, his life changes when he participates in the first Dutch edition of the TV talent show IDOLS in 2002 and finishes 2nd in the final.

He made, among other things, the albums; Impressed (2003), Ready (2004), Dance With Me (2005), Vrij (2007), Nu (2009), Shoulder (2014) and released numerous (number 1 and top 10) singles. Jim has also done several theater tours and a sold-out concert at the Afas Live.
