This hit also put Jimmy in the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest person ever to top the UK charts – a record he still holds to this day.

Jimmy enjoys producing as well as performing. He has produced many live shows and events all over the world. He is an award-winning producer for BBC, PBS, ABC and The Disney Channel.

Jimmy purchased the Andy Williams Moon River Performing Arts Center in Branson, Missouri from Andy’s family in 2014. Honouring Andy’s wish that he keep his legacy going, in 2015 Jimmy debuted the productions, Moon River and Me and the Andy Williams Christmas Extravaganza. The shows pay tribute to his mentor and lifelong friend, whose television show gave the entire Osmond family a platform to launch their careers.
