Influences:

I'm influenced by all the great artistis of the past-for the great body of work that has been left behind for us to educate ourselves to help us grow. present-our contempoaries, whom we are fortunate to meet in this lifetime. future-the possibilities of what we can achieve with the gifts that god has givin us. Every one who has belived in themselves. Every one who has took a stand for what they have belived in, thus changing music, art, literature, culture, and possibly the world we live in. My family, my friends, my girlfriend, and her ipod, and to all who has givin me compliments on my music. musicly, i find it difficult to list all of the music that i'm into, so let's just say i'm into it all, from a to z.***Jimmy Lopez playing the Meinl black fiberglass front plate cajon***Jimmy Lopez playing the Oceanblu Meinl collection cajon***Jimmy Lopez playing the Meinl Trejon***Jimmy Lopez play the cherry wood/red oak Menil Collection cajon*** *** Jimmy Lopez playing Meinl cajon***Jimmy Lopez with Dj CloakDagger And Marc Rizzo of SOULFLY***Jimmy Lopez at South Street Sraport*** Jimmy Lopez with Nora Doncheva Jimmy Lopez and Dj Ray Kang in Washington D.C Jimy Lopez with John Zachary Jimy Lopez with John Zachary part II The Official Roland Masterclass video!
