I’m Jimmy, an art director, author and musician in Japan
About Jimmy Braun
Story & Career
As a France-born musician and art director now based in Japan, I bring over 15 years of interdisciplinary expertise spanning communication, journalism, marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), advertising, and design, with a specialized focus on music, visual communication, and creative strategies.
My musical journey began with intensive percussion training in France and Cuba, studying congas and drums while simultaneously developing a comprehensive background in communication technologies. This dual-track education has enabled me to forge a unique, innovative approach to creative professional challenges.
My passion for holistic wellness led me to author numerous articles on nutrition and health, culminating in the publication of a dedicated book exploring dietary strategies and nutritional balance. These endeavors reflect my commitment to translating complex health concepts into accessible, actionable insights.
Personal experiences, including a childhood car accident at age 7 and a battle with leukemia at 11, profoundly shaped my perspective. These transformative challenges deepened my understanding of resilience and sparked a profound interest in the therapeutic potential of art and music. Specifically, I became fascinated by art therapy and music therapy, exploring their powerful impact on healing and psychological well-being.
I have pursued various careers, including freelance journalism, musician, music teacher, art gallery assistant, festival artistic director, and communications manager, and have been an entrepreneur since 2009.
Driven by ambition and an unwavering passion for creativity, I specialize in photography, music, typography, digital solutions, and branding for both emerging and established brands.
Since 2017, I have been working as a music therapist and creative director in Japan. My dedication and hard work have earned me the support of the Startup City Fukuoka center, allowing me to secure a business manager visa and establish myself as an investor and entrepreneur in Japan.
