Jimmy Mowery is a pop / rock musician from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and was Top 24 on Season 16 of "The Voice".
He started performing while in high school as a member of local bands and received some notoriety as a member of Like a Movie that was signed to a recording contract and toured the country before the band broke up.
The record label then flew him to Nashville, TN to work with other songwriters to pursue a solo music career. Instead he started another band Wake The Coast who had limited success before disbanding due the band members being scattered across multiple states.
Jimmy moved to Myrle Beach, South Carolina with his girlfriend, who's now his wife, and played 200+ shows a year across South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia. He's self-released two EP’s and four singles so far made it to the Top 24 on Season 16 of NBC’s The Voice.
