JIM PAPA
Born in Brooklyn, NY on a cold February morning it seems that music was in his makeup from the very beginning. When children begin to blurt out words for the first time you can count on them saying mommy or daddy, not Jim. After listening to the radio his first word was "Hop", as in "At The Hop". Over time it became apparent that he had a love of music and a God given ability to sing.
Beginning at the age of eight Jim performed as a lead singer in neighborhood cub scout shows and plays. He got "the bug" and later in life became one of the areas most talented and requested performers.
