Career

2011-2016: Early years, Tell Me I Belong

Born James Harmon Stack, Jim-E Stack grew up in San Francisco's Inner Richmond, where his passion for music evolved from playing in garage rock bands and jazz bands to making beats inspired by Daft Punk, Burial, J Dilla, Timbaland, and The Neptunes. While Stack lived in New Orleans and Brooklyn, his original releases and EPs, in addition to remixes for Sky Ferreira and ASAP Rocky, garnered critical acclaim and interest. It would lead to his debut 2014 album, Tell Me I Belong, accompanied by touring with Shlohmo and Bonobo.

Returning to California in 2016, Stack continued to release new solo material, including collaborations with fellow electronic artist The Range, as well as solo releases featuring Noonie Bao, Rostam, Charli XCX, and more.
