About James Shimanek
James Shimanek is a composer and cellist. When he was 9, he was inspired to write music after watching the movie Amadeus. He was so impressed by Mozart’s ability to write music, he felt he had the ability in him. He played piano for almost 2 years and decided to switch to cello instead. “There was something about the cello that drew me in, giving me a feeling of being complete, like it was a part of me that had been missing” said James Shimanek. James has written over 50 compositions from cello solos with accompaniment to symphonies. Last year he released two singles and is in the process of making his first album which is close to being done.
