Jimi Calhoun is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area. After demonstrating an aptitude to play several musical instruments he settled on the bass guitar and embarked on a career path that would take him around the world.

On one of his journeys to England he became interested in spirituality and began to explore a variety of paths searching for God and inner peace. This journey also included brief stops along the way to study Buddhism and Metaphysics. He also has studied martial arts which he still incorporates into his spiritual disciplines.

Jimi’s spiritual search resulted in him returning to his Christian roots. He became an ordained minister which would again lead him to travel around the world - this time not as a rock and roll musician but as a messenger of God’s love for people and an instrument of healing between people.
