He is the youngest member of the Osmonds, the sibling musical group.
Osmond has earned six gold medals, one platinum record, and two gold albums as a solo artist.
Early life and family
Osmond was born in Canoga Park, California, the ninth and youngest child of Olive May (née Davis), 1925-1994), and George Virl Osmond (1917–2007). Virl, Thomas, Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, and Marie Osmond are his elder siblings. He is also the only one of the nine Osmond siblings not to have been born in Ogden, Utah, where the family's hometown is also known. Osmond was taught by tutors to fit his professional life. He was also educated by Mary Osmond, his brother Merrill's sister.
Personal life
On June 7, 1991, Osmond married Michele Larson. They have four children. Sophia Michelle (born September 28, 1994), Zachary James (born October 10, 1997), Arthur Wyatt (born February 16, 2000), and Isabelle Olive Renee (born February 27, 2002).
Osmond, like the majority of his family, is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Following his appearance as Captain Hook in the Birmingham Hippodrome's staging of the pantomime Peter Pan, Osmond was admitted to the hospital where he had been diagnosed with a stroke. He had suffered a stroke in 2004 as a result of a newly published patent for amen ovale. For the first time since the tragedy in April 2019, he was in good health and taking a "long-overdue break" from show business for the time being. Since then, he hasn't appeared publicly since then, but his companies, including the Andy Williams Performing Arts Center, have survived. Jimmy's brother Merrill said in a February 2020 interview that he was still struggling, planned on maintaining his company ventures, and that Merrill wished that Jimmy would return to the organization eventually.
Career
He received his first gold record at age five for a song he recorded in Japanese, "My Little Darling". He was the first Osmond to achieve this. His recording of "Long Haired Lover from Liverpool" in 1972 resulted in The Guinness Book of World Records designating him the youngest performer to have a #1 single on the UK Singles Chart. The song was credited to "Little Jimmy Osmond". In Japan, he had the moniker "Jimmy Boy".
In 1978, Osmond starred in the feature film The Great Brain. He starred in other acting roles as well, including two episodes of the TV series Fame. He performed on stage and television often with his older siblings. In 1985, he met Latino impresario Manuel Montoya at A&M Records, and this led to his only Spanish recording, "Siempre Tu". He toured Latin American markets, including Puerto Rico, Mexico, Venezuela and Chile. On the heels of this, he served as a juror at the 1986 edition of the OTI Festival. The 2012 Osmonds album I Can't Get There Without You was performed with Jimmy Osmond on lead vocals; it was the first album to feature Jimmy as lead singer, as older brother Merrill Osmond historically held that role in the band. In live performances, Jimmy often serves as a co-lead singer with Merrill, a role previously held by Donny during the band's heyday in the early 1970s.
Osmond is president of Osmond Entertainment. He has developed and supervised most of the Osmonds' merchandising business, as well as producing hundreds of hours of programming for networks including ABC, PBS, the BBC and the Disney Channel.
He has also performed in musical theater. Like his brother Donny many years earlier, he starred in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. He also starred in Boogie Nights in 2004 at the Grand Theatre, Blackpool. In 2005, Jimmy Osmond's American Jukebox Show toured the UK in 2005, again to the Grand Theatre in Blackpool. Co-stars of the show included Billy Pearce and Jimmy's brothers Jay and Wayne. From December 11, 2010 to January 2, 2011, he played Buttons in Cinderella at the White Rock Theatre in Hastings; from December 16, 2011, to January 15, 2012, he played the role of Wishee Washee in Aladdin at Grand Theatre, Swansea; and from December 1, 2017, to January 7, 2018, the role of Abanzar in the pantomime Aladdin at His Majesty's Theatre in Aberdeen.
He has appeared on several UK TV shows, including the reality TV series I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! broadcast by ITV in 2005 (he finished in fourth place), a 2006 appearance on All Star Family Fortunes, a celebrity version of Come Dine with Me, Celebrity Family Fortunes, and Everybody Dance Now. In January 2010, Osmond participated in the British ITV1 celebrity reality television programme Popstar to Operastar. In 2016 Jimmy was a finalist on the UK version of Celebrity Masterchef.
In 2014, Osmond authored a semi-autobiographical children's picture book, Awesome Possum Family Band. The same year, he took over the operations of the Andy Williams Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri, where he is now responsible for producing and booking shows. In 2015, Osmond was awarded an honorary doctorate of arts and humanities by Iowa Wesleyan University. The first Osmond family member to receive that distinction, he delivered the keynote commencement speech on May 9, 2015.
