"RADICAL NEW THERAPY is a triumph!! I absolutely love it. It's one of the best CDs (if not THE best) I've ever gotten from an independent artist. Your vocal layerings and cool rhythms and hooks remind me a little of David Bowie at times, even a touch of Beatles, but with your own spin. Great lyrics and I can't believe you aren't signed yet! But maybe you don't want that, because right now you have all the creative control...and you have managed to make such an amazing album without a label's help. Your music definitely belongs on TV and in movies and I see you are already heading down that path. I wish you much success, you deserve it, and thanks so much for the CD. Of course I'll be playing it on air, but first I have to make myself take it out of the car....."

Jefferson Denim originally relocated to Los Angeles from his native Chicago as an actor. He was placed under contract with Columbia Pictures, and this led to some guest roles, commercials, and a stint on NBC's Days Of Our Lives. Music, however, has always been Jefferson's primary passion.

Song Competition. In addition, Jefferson is a recipient of the Lionel Richie Songwriter of the Year Award.


In 2000, Kamikaze Penguin Records released the latest Jefferson Denim CD RADICAL NEW THERAPY. The follow up to the critically acclaimed INTO THE RED, RADICAL NEW THERAPY is being hailed as "a demonstration of truly spectacular talent in songwriting and singing" (The Global Muse) and "a powerful combination of intelligent writing and incredible sounds" (film director David Latt).
