Jimie

Jimie (real name; James Justin Quyen) was a British self-described "folk hero" in the music industry. The genre of music Jimie played is to this today unclear, but many believe that it’s a mix between industry rock and techno music, so called "indunoise music". Jimie died in 2008, according to a news article, but his legacy lives on.

Origin
Jimie was born in 1982 in Kenton, London area to parents with Vietnamese background. He started "rapping" at age twelve, but suddenly got more interested in rock music in the late 1990s. When techno music started gaining popularity, Mr, Jimie followed the footsteps of "famous" DJs and recorded numerous, what we would call today, techno beats, and eventually posted them to his NewerMusic.com page. In 2004, Jimie released his first official single, which ultimately was removed from MySpace and NewerMusic for illegal downloads.

Death
Jimie was injured on December 13, 2007, when a biker in full force hit him while jaywalking. Jimie claimed that it was the bikers fault, but decided not to press charges. On January 4, he was taken to the hospital for acute back pain. Later discharged, Jimie suffered a broken hip, and therefore, had a heart attack. On February 1, 2008, a news article (now removed) claimed that Jimie had passed away. No other social media or internet articles wrote about his alleged death, so it became more of a lament-state on the Internet for at least two months. Official obituary went public in 2017, revealing that Jimie did indeed die from a heart attack in 2008.
