Splitting time between recording in Los Angeles and his home of Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Jim is working with some of the top producers and studio musicians in the business including Charles Holloman, Kelvin Holly, James LeBlanc and Grammy winner Craig Alvin. Jim is best known for his incredible music videos, and he has a new song called “I Want To Quit” that is resonating with audiences around the country as it gathers momentum on country radio stations.

The emotive, soaring rocker “I Want to Quit” from Jim Waneka directly taps into the fear, anger, and frustrations so many of us face today.
