JJ Gilmour, from an early age having been kicked out of school, started to write songs. Still in his teens he relocated to Jersey in the channel islands and then to Canada where he met the band he was to join.

JJ was was asked to sing vocals on the (dance to the holy man) album by the silencers. "i did my vocals for them and a month later they asked me to join the band. i jumped at the chance".

During seven years and two further studio albums with the group , JJ emerged as the key lead singer for the Silencers. at the group's peak, it was selling hundreds of thousands of albums around europe and headlining many of the continents major festivals, for jj it wasn't enough, he agreed to stay to fulfil the remaining several months of european touring with the band and after the final show in lille in france he left to write for his new solo album.

Sunnyside (P.A.L) is the emotionally-charged intensely personal debut album by JJ Gilmour.
it's a record of rare honesty which throughout, identifies certain important, influential or amusing people and moments in his life . Even it's title tells a poignant tale; it's a reference to Paul Anthony Lennon, jj's closest friend who lost his life to cancer and to whom this collection of songs has been dedicated.

yet for all of the heartbreak wrought in much of his material, joy is also ever-present and evident throughout, jj's first solo outing; a bright happiness which rings clearly within the soaring, soulful vocal interpretation of his songs. he has a naturally gifted voice, used to deliver a record which very much represents a culmination of his abilities and experiences.

"there's a lot of people writing from the heart, like richard ashcroft from the verve, david gray or coldplay and i have always written that way. I've taken all of my musical influences and thrown them into this record, and I've come out with my own bag of tricks."
