Jim Shafer is a musician and music producer. He has been creating original music since the early 90's. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, He became involved with music and theater in high school. During his senior year, Jim got a taste what it feels like to be a rock star when he landed the lead role in the stage adaption of Pink Floyd's The Wall.  The following year he landed another leading role in the staging of The Beatles Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. While attending college, he fronted the rock band Fear of Fate and was one of the main writers of their original material. The band grew a strong following and became one of the highest scored bands in the history of the BAM Magazines Battle of the Bands competition.
