FOJC hit a fast start with the success of their first 2008 single, “Hot Sahara,” which climbed the dance and radio charts. Both “Hot Sahara” and its accompanying album, Twist of the Banshees, were on the initial ballot in the Electronic Dance category for the Grammy Awards in the same year.

Popular brands and advertisers such as Roxy Europe, Forever 21 and Zippo Lighters have also used FOJC songs in commercial campaigns. In 2010, FOJC collaborated for LucasArts, assisting composer Mark Griskey with the new Star Wars video game.
Fans of Jimmy Century’s exciting and theatrical live performances have made them a favorite on the West Coast festival circuit, sharing the stage with artists such as Lady Gaga, Robyn, Cyndi Lauper, Shiny Toy Guns, The English Beat and Berlin.
