I was born in Dallas, Texas, on the 22nd of December 1972. I learned to play the keyboard at the age of eight.
I drew my musical influences from bands like Genesis, Howard Jones, and Information Society.
In the mid nineties I played Friday nights at a church in front of a small crowd, on a synthesizer. This was quite contrary to the usual couple of guys strumming guitars or singing to backup tapes. I got a job working for Honda, in Dallas in 1997, where I earned my living. Whilst there, I used to stay up late at night writing and recording.<p>
I played in a cover band called Group Therapy for a few years but eventually got burned out on playing the same songs to the same crowd weekend after weekend. I have invested the last few years into writing and recording. In October 2006 I finished ‘Big Deal’, a collection of electronic songs. My first solo gig was on May 27th 2007 at the Curtain Club in Dallas along with 7 other bands. www.jerrymarkhammusic.com came online on the same weekend. I’m currently working on a special CD that is planned to be released with a book by author Adie Bishop. In addition, I plan to continue working on a few dozen other songs for 2008.
