Shimuro "Yo-Yo" Jones

Shimuro Jones (Born Year 28) is one of the biggest and brightest multi-media stars in the solar system, known for his music as well as roles in several holos and immersives

NICKNAME: Jones got his nickname of 'Yo-Yo' as a child from his older brother, Kazuki. Shimuro would tag along places, jumping up and down full of energy, then run away and come back to his brother, thus the nickname.

MUSIC: Yo-Yo is known for both his musical chops (he plays both the six-string guitar and the piano) as well as his raspy tenor (a natural sound, not the product of cigarettes or artificial alteration). His rise to fame came after an appearance as a 16-yr old on the live entertainment program "Boom!" when he won the four-week competition, performing everything from a hip-hop version of a Latin Gregorian chant to the 20th century (Old Style) artist Michael Jackson, winning with the recent non-denominational ballad "Lift Me".

Jones then signed a five-set deal with Magna Recording. He is working on his fourth set of songs now.

The first three albums (and Top 20 hits) are:

Yo Yo Yo

"My Song"

"Tell Me You Love Me"

"Vinegretto Alegretto"

"Sukiyaki Meatball"

"The Eyes Don't Lie (I Won't Hear from You Again)"

ACTING

Given his success with his albums, it was natural for Jones to be given a chance to act, exploited for his profit potential. Originally given a limited role with little range, Jones has shown the ability to play different characters rather than just being himself in a piece.
