Jimmy Wayne Lawrence is a veteran songwriter, artist, and entrepreneur whose career centers on emotionally authentic country and gospel music built from real-life experience. Born in Durham, North Carolina and raised on Southern values, Jimmy’s writing reflects a lifetime of love, hardship, faith, and perseverance—turning personal stories into songs that resonate far beyond the page.
With decades of songwriting behind him, Jimmy has developed a large and diverse catalog of original country and gospel songs, many of which are professionally copyrighted and demoed. His writing style blends classic storytelling with modern structure, focusing on strong hooks, vivid imagery, and melodies that feel both timeless and current.
Jimmy is the founder of Shadow Creek Music, an independent songwriting and publishing company created to serve artists who are searching for great songs but may not have access to Nashville-level writing rooms. Shadow Creek Music provides pitch-ready songs, demos, and creative partnerships for independent artists, producers, and small labels, helping bridge the gap between raw talent and professional material.
In addition to building Shadow Creek Music, Jimmy continues to write daily, develop new projects, and mentor emerging artists through collaboration and song placement. His long-term vision is to build a respected, artist-friendly catalog of songs across country and gospel that creates opportunity, income, and lasting impact.
At the heart of everything Jimmy does is a simple belief: great songs still change lives—and he’s committed to writing them.
