Jim Kroft startete 2014 sein Projekt "Journeys". Im Rahmen dieses Projektes reiste er 2014 durch China und Anfang 2015 durch Ostafrika und gab dort zahlreiche Konzerte. Im März 2015 war er als Support mit Jaimi Faulkner unterwegs und es erschien seine EP "Journeys #1", die er ohne Label produziert hat. THE PROJECT JOURNEYS Human life is a journey. We are all born. We all die. What we do in between defines who we are, and how we are remembered. After years as a musician, I realized that I had been living with an unnamed frustration. I wanted to release more regularly than the traditional album cycle. I wanted to to bring my music to people in reality rather than in the cyber world. More than that, I wanted connection, camp fire, campervaning – to share my music behind the great firewall of China, the desert of the Sahara and the open endless roads of America. What is music for? Had i forgotten? What are the colours of my dreams, the shape of my subconscious longings? I decided that in order to find my way, I needed to get lost, to set out into the unknown, and to hell with sense. As a result my »Journeys« project was born. It is an independent project – one man, one guitar, one camera. In a fractured and fragmented world, I’ve decided to seek its heart, and to find out for myself what its people think. At my core I believe that human beings want to be unified, not divided, that we want to progress peacefully, that when measured in total it our kindness that will defeat our cruelty. In order to find out for myself, I have set out on my journey. After playing the V-Rox festival in Vladivostok Russia, I was invited by Split Music to tour in China. I wanted a deeper experience than traditional touring allos, and so they set me up with a 2 week residency in Jianghu Bar, Beijing. From there I flew to Chongqing in central China and played many shows while making my way via train, plain & automobile to Shanghai.
