Jim Gillette

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jim Roy Gillette(born in 1968) is an American singer, notable for being the frontman of glam metal band Nitro. In the 1980s, he was a member of the band Tuff. He frequently shattered crystal goblets with the sound of his voice, using audio amplification, as part of his act. He is married to singer Lita Ford. He has a range of over 6 octaves^{[citation needed]}, and on the record "O.F.R.", he was able to hold a Soprano high B note (one semitone below soprano high C) for 30 seconds, whilst sliding between a high A and G# in full voice. This can be heard on the track "Machine Gunn Eddie"

Jim released a vocal training video and accompanying tape for practicing vocals. This came out in 1993 through Metal Method Productions and is entitled Vocal Power.

Jim now weighs upwards of 260 pounds and trains in mixed martial arts with the Gracie family. He also exercises with clubbells through Scott Sonnon´s Circular Strength Training.He said recently he focuses on training and family.He wanna be a good dad/husband.

It was revealed on May 8, 2008 that Gillette was the father of Big Brother 9 House Guest Sheila Kenney's son, Mick. According to a Myspace blog that had permission to quote Sheila, " He has since married Lita Ford. He has had nothing to do with Mick ever and did not even sign the birth certificate. So Sheila has really always been on her own with Mick. He and Lita do have a child (or children) together and they live in the Carribean. So Sheila can't go after him for anything."
