ABOUT THE ARTIST
My name is Jimmy Abrahamson and welcome to my website.
​
I believe in the power of emotion more than anything else. When suppressed it is the most dangerous weapon. When allowed, it is the source of all beauty.
I come from Seattle, Washington. I love music because of Ray Charles, MC Hammer, and eventually Dvorak’s Symphonies which I first heard as my dad’s ringtone. The triumphant beginning of the fourth movement is both the inspiration for “Jaws” and my favorite musical moment of all time.
I live in New York City. I’ve premiered pieces for Scott Wheeler, Annil Zhang, Lawrence Song, and Katy Li.
I currently live in New York City.
My favorite comment on my playing to date was an unknown woman who took a moment to call out to me from the back of a concert hall while I practiced alone, saying, “You don’t know how good that sounds”.
I believe in my ability to encourage others and I want to teach everyone to be fearless and change the world in the way they see fit.
​
I sincerely hope my work connects with you.
