Jim hails from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, where he lives with his wife Rebecca, son James, and daughter Roslyn. From a young age, Jim exhibited exceptional skills as a musician, and was quick to pick up the piano and guitar, taught by his mother, and brother Rob. At the age of seven, he began staging performances in local living rooms around Hamilton, and by 14 he had written his first song, "Maybe Someday You'll be Mine". Jim's talent shone through on his debut album, which took off like a shot.
The first single, "Everything and More", entered the National Country Chart at 40, a first for any debut Canadian single at the time. Now, with 5 top 10 singles to his credit, along with mass video play on CMT and TNN, Jim's star continues to shine. I love country music. It's honest and real - exactly how I like to think of myself", says Witter. As a singer-songwriter, Jim is one of those rare, exceptional talents who understands the parameters of good song writing. Not only was this apparent on his debut, self-titled album, but the tradition holds true on his new album for Curb Records, produced by Chuck Howard (Leann Rimes) and co-written with the likes of Steve Wariner, Kim Tribble, Kim Williams, and James Dean Hicks.
