Slim’s Bio
Slim Man’s Background
Slim Man was born a long time ago. How long? Real long. He started off as Slim Boy, and later became Slim Man.
But seriously, folks…Slim’s hometown is Baltimore, MD. His first musical memory? His Dad, the Slim Poppa, took him to see a movie “The Five Pennies”, starring Danny Kaye and…Louis Armstrong. When Young Slim saw Louis sing and play, Slim Boy decided, at the tender age of five, that that was his Life’s Calling.
Young Slim studied trumpet for ten years, and taught himself how to play piano and guitar as well. Slim Boy’s first gig? He was in fifth grade, and he played guitar and sang a few Beatles songs for the sixth grade graduation. Since that time, he has worked himself up from nothing, to a case of extreme poverty.
While in his teens, Slim Dude kept studying music, at Peabody (a school for mostly classical music, where Slim studied piano, theory, and harmony), and privately, studying singing, and jazz piano.
His First Big Break came when he went on a trip to NYC to meet a publisher who expressed some interest in Slim’s Songs. When Young Slim got to NYC, he found out that the publisher dude had other interests in mind, and left the meeting disgusted yet determined. He went to a phone booth and started calling publishers.
A few hours later, he was in the office of Roxanne Gordy, Motown publishing executive and niece of the famous Berry Gordy. Motown eventually signed Slim Man as a songwriter, and one of the first tunes he wrote made it onto Angela Bofill’s first CD, “Angie”.
