The media, entertainment, and art worlds converge through various expressions, but only a few have the talent to recreate and produce their own blend of creativity. Jimmy Dasaint is unquestionably one of the few to make this happen.
Jimmy Dasaint is an award-winning film director and bestselling urban book author with over 25 published novels. He resides in his hometown in Philadelphia and has established a strong presence in art, literature, and film both locally and globally.
Jimmy is the founder of Dasaint Entertainment, a Philadelphia-based multimedia company that produces books, movies, and concerts for people from all walks of life. Through the years, the company has developed many excellent materials that have achieved commercial and critical success despite being grassroots in its approach to growth. Jimmy also started Urban Magazine, a top Hip-Hop publication that has become a premier resource for all things music-related in the Philadelphia region.
Furthermore, the artist and entrepreneur is also recognized as one of Live Nation’s top promoters. In fact, he currently works as the Lead Promoter for Springfest, Summerfest, the Back-to-School Concert, and the eagerly awaited Philly Hip-Hop Awards, among other music events. On top of his work in music and promotion, Jimmy has also written several books that have won awards, including the famous novel “Black Scarface.”
In addition, Jimmy has written two outstanding films, the most notable of which is the TV documentary “American Hustler,” which highlights the remarkable changes in urban residents’ lives. Today, the flick has become well-known in many circles and is now part of Amazon Prime’s premiere titles.
Most recently, Jimmy released his latest film, “Nobody’s Son,” which is now available on Tubi, marking his third film release this year on top of “The Trap” and “Broken Trust.” In the first quarter of 2023, he is looking to launch two new films on the same streaming platform — a comedy titled “Saturday” and a drama called “Stick Up Boy.”
With Jimmy’s vast array of skills in arts and media, he aims to create movies, write books, and produce concerts that appeal to a large group of people, believing that art is a powerful tool that connects individuals from different generations, bridges gaps, and breaks down biases.
What makes him stand out from artists, filmmakers and producers is not just his quality of work and versatility in the industry but also his deep dedication and commitment to his craft. “I never give up until the job is done,” he said with conviction. This characteristic is also expressed through the books that he has written and the films that he has produced.
With all he has accomplished, Jimmy has grown in popularity and credibility across various circles. Because of his involvement in multiple art practices, he has appeared in numerous national publications and social media platforms, including FEDS, SWAG, UPNEXT, XXL, and VIBE, to name a few.
Jimmy’s journey in the industry is fueled by his passion for excellence and desire to be independent and be his own boss. “I want my readers to be inspired and to never give up; to know that all is possible with God in your life,” he left off.
