Jim Castle Band

Here is my autobiography. There are no other musicians in my family as far as I know. The first signs started to show when I was two. And by the age of four I was singing all day long and I knew already around 50 songs. There was no doubt I was going to be a musician. One day when I was five I got hit in the head by a heavy swing on a playground. I spent a month and a half in a hospital in a critical condition in the beginning. After the accident I had problems with speech and seeing colours for about a year. By the age of six I was back in the game, but with singing was over. My parents didn't gave up, bought me a guitar and found me a guitar teacher. Years went by and I became good on the guitar, but still no singing. When I was 18 I had to compete with 12 other guitarists for one single place in Music Conservatory. I got the place. Two years later I had a chance to participate in a guitar masterclass with one of the best musicians I have ever heard or seen. I went to study with him in Switzerland and lived there for the next 10 years. When I was 23 I decided I should give it another go with singing. I started to sing with the guitar and write my own songs. It felt great and it still does to this very day. Now I live in London with my wife and our two little girls. I hope you like my music and my story. Jim
