Career

2011-2016; Early years, Tell Me I Belong

Born James Harmon Stack, Jim-E Stack grew up in San Francisco’s Inner Richmond,[1] where his passion for music evolved from playing in garage rock bands and jazz bands to making beats inspired by Daft Punk, Burial, J Dilla, Timbaland, and The Neptunes.[13] While Jim-E lived in New Orleans and Brooklyn, his original releases and EPs, in addition to remixes for Sky Ferreira and ASAP Rocky,[12] garnered critical acclaim and interest. It would lead to his debut 2014 album, Tell Me I Belong,[14] accompanied by touring with Shlohmo and Bonobo.[12]

2016–present; Singles and collaborations

Returning to California in 2016, Jim-E continued to release new solo material,[3] including collaborations with fellow electronic artist The Range,[15] as well as solo releases featuring Noonie Bao, Rostam, Charli XCX, and more.[3] Between then and early 2019, he collaborated with Empress Of, Diplo, and Caroline Polachek for their own music, in addition to contributing on songs for Haim.

In late 2019 and early 2020, Stack released new singles featuring Ant Clemons[16] and Empress Of,[11] along with an announcement for a new album.
