Jimmy Poindexter: I'd Rather Be Myself (Documentary)
Los Angeles-based recording artist JIMMY has shared a new documentary in promotion of his latest album SHAZAM. This comes after a performance in his backyard, a brand new freestyle, a music video for DIFFREN', three singles BEIN' MYSELF, FIGURE IT OUT & JUNEBUG and the start of a theatric rollout where it began with the artist quitting to become a magician. Check out the new documentary directed & edited by JIMMY below.
Continuing "Act II" of the SHAZAM rollout, JIMMY has shared a new 16-minute long documentary. Inspired by The Fader's documentary series, Poindexter appears in an interview throughout the documentary as he talks about his past.
"This is just me, this is who I am and this is who I would like to be going forward," JIMMY says in the first scene. The artist walks us through the two decade long journey that led to him becoming a bubbling figure in music, starting with his parents who's lives have heavily influenced his own decisions. His family history & their roots to street/gang culture led to him becoming the complete opposite from them. Between becoming an athlete, earning a full-ride scholarship to college & pursuing a career in the music industry, JIMMY continues to march to beat of his own drums with his latest LP SHAZAM.
In addition to the documentary, a new cover story review of the album can be found below.
