Jimmy “C” (a.k.a. James Cieslinski) has the desire to entertain, no matter what! He wants people laughing and enjoying themselves, and has accomplished this for over 35 years as a musician, Karaoke jockey and DJ. The Rochester native has been the lead singer for several area bands, including popular favorites like Spanky, Night Star and Sneekers, to name a few. Jimmy’s stage presence was influenced by The Rustics and The Rascals. One of the Rascals, Gene Cornish, was a neighborhood friend.
Jimmy was one of the first people to bring Karaoke into the Rochester area. He estimates that he has entertained thousands, performing at over 1,200 weddings, 900 corporate events and nearly 400 magic shows. He works at all types of public and private events seven nights a week, along with local clubs. Besides all of his other accomplishments, Jimmy has made several radio and TV commericals, and you may have heard him singing lead on commercials for Rochester Radio, Hair Zoo, Bill Gray’s and many others.
Jimmy “C’s” newest touch is magic. He loves it so much, and is such a natural that he’s been elected “Magician of the Year” by the Society of American Magicians (S.A.M.) for three years in a row. Jimmy greatly enjoys entertaining people close up and magic brings him face to face with his audience. People stop him everywhere and ask for tricks! As president of S.A.M., Jimmy lectures and teaches, supporting new magicians.
