Jyme is the indie rock project of Portuguese-American singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Jaime, conceived in Los Angeles in 2018. The project is entirely self-produced, with Jyme writing, recording, performing, and producing every song himself. After receiving a scholarship, he attended Musicians Institute before dropping out to pursue hands-on studio experience, including a brief internship at NRG Recording Studios. A chance introduction led to a friendship and informal mentorship with legendary producer Dallas Austin, who encouraged Jyme to stop chasing engineering work and focus fully on songwriting. The guidance marked a creative turning point, instilling confidence and emotional depth that continue to shape his artistic voice. While living in Los Angeles, Jyme supported himself through bar jobs, ride-share driving, and food delivery while obsessively studying songwriting and production. After a series of traumatic events, he felt compelled to leave the city and relocate to Portugal, settling into his grandfather’s home. There, he transformed a childhood classroom—once part of his mother’s Montessori school—into a recording studio and began work on his debut album, Miraventos. The record represents a full-circle moment: grounded in personal history, shaped by displacement, and driven by a relentless commitment to craft.
