Description
The Jimmy Sogalrey Band emerged as part of a natural evolution of the careers of four highly experienced musicians, Jimmy Sogalrey, Andrew Scrivens, Christian Boeger and Ash Carnie. All four members have spent well over a decade immersed in the respective music scenes of their home countries before their paths converged in 2018, with the relocating of Jimmy and Christian to Brisbane.
The band is fundamentally built around the stunning vocals, charisma, and crowd-engagement of singer Jimmy Sogalrey. Jimmy originally hails from Jakarta, Indonesia where he grew up in a gifted musical family within the context of a culture rich in musical celebration and expression. He was recognized as a rare talent and signed to record company EMI with whom he released a successful album in Indonesia, reaching number 1 on the charts in Jakarta shortly after its release.
Jimmy was encouraged to bring his talent to Australia which brought him to party-town Darwin, an ideal location to hone his skills performing and recording cover songs at weddings, local clubs, and high-end corporate events. After 8 years of mastering his craft as a soloist though, Jimmy knew that what he really wanted to achieve was going to involve creating a permanent band in a much broader music scene. So in 2017, he moved to Brisbane.
Fortunately, his move coincided with the simultaneous relocation of the U.S-born session and covers musician, Christian Boeger who had literally just performed his last gig, stepped on a plane and had begun a new chapter with his family in Brisbane. One of the first things Chris did when he arrived was to discover a “Bassist-Wanted” ad for Jimmy’s band! Christian brings 30 years of live and studio experience with dozens of artists at hundreds of weddings, clubs and festivals. His instincts for serving the song are truly second-to-none and play a key role in giving The Jimmy Sogalrey Band its knack for getting people up and dancing.
