Jimmy Dunne is just what we need in these challenging, divisive times. One of seven kids from a suburban Chicago midwestern family, Jimmy Dunne headed to California to find success–and that he sure did.

A modern-day Renaissance man, Jimmy is a songwriter with dozens of gold and platinum records—with songs on twenty-eight million records worldwide. His themes, scores, and songs have graced over a thousand television episodes, several hit movies, university alma maters, and songs in the Olympic Games. He’s had screenwriting and producing credits on hit television series, written an award-winning children’s book, recorded numerous solo records as a piano artist, and founded successful music and branding companies.

But if you ask Jimmy, more important than anything, he’s a dad to two daughters, a new grandpa, and a husband to his award-winning, interior designer wife and living in Pacific Palisades, California.
