Jimmy Destri (born James Destri, 13 April 1954, Brooklyn, New York) plays keyboards in the rock band, Blondie. He stopped touring with the band in 2004, but as of 2006 is still an official member. He released a solo album, Heart On A Wall, in 1981.

After the band's temporary break-up in 1982, Destri ran a company that bought, renovated, and sold old buildings. He also produced records and remixed material for artists like Prince and INXS. [1] He and the rest of the band reunited in 1997.

Destri composed several songs for Blondie, including "Atomic" (along with Debbie Harry), "Maria" and "Nothing Is Real but the Girl".
