Jack Kimber

I'm a creative based in New York City with a passion for music and the arts. I just relocated from Los Angeles where I gained extensive experience in the music industry. I started my career as a playwright and songwriter, winning awards for my work at a young age. Since then, I've taken on many roles in the industry, including head audio engineer, executive assistant, social media manager, and booker/promoter at Jam in the Van LLC.

At Jam in the Van, I managed audio recordings and live streams for the company's mobile recording studio and venue. I ran live sound for comedians and musicians such as Sarah Silverman, Anthony Jeselnik, Tiffany Haddish, and Tim Dillon. I also assisted the CEO with various tasks, managed the company's social media accounts, and booked and coordinated sellout shows for the venue.

In addition to my work at Jam in the Van, I'm a touring musician, lead guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter for two bands, Turtle Logic and North Morlan. As a self-starter and entrepreneur, I manage the bands' tours, bookings, merchandise, marketing, and social media, and have booked over 200 paid gigs and three national tours for them. I'm also a composer and producer of three full-length albums.

With my experience in Adobe suites, Microsoft Office programs, Google programs, Logic, Ableton, Mailchimp, and media base. I'm a goal-oriented professional who can manage multiple tasks at once, stay organized, and communicate effectively. I enjoy continual learning and development, am a stickler for details, and have a strong social network. My passion for music and dedication to my craft make me a valuable asset to any team.
