James “Jimmy” Leonard Marshall is a highly accomplished drummer, percussionist, and versatile musician. From an early age, Jimmy's passion for music blossomed as he explored the drums, guitar, bass, piano, and singing.

Jimmy is also passionate about sharing his knowledge with others. As a private music teacher in the Temecula and Murrieta area, he instills his musical wisdom in aspiring musicians. His contributions to faith communities are notable, serving as a Music Minister at St. Martha's from 2018-2022 and presently at St. Catherine of Alexandria, serving in several church choirs and playing drums for the youth choir. He remains deeply grateful for the mentorship he has received and for the unwavering support of his family and friends.
