Jimmy Ma is a figure skater born in New York, N. Y., on 11 October 1995. He represents the United States of America, and is affiliated with the Skating Club of New York.
His accomplishments include being the 2014 U.S. junior bronze medalist and the 2013 U.S. junior pewter medalist.
He gained a lot of attention for his unconventional music choice for the 2018 US Nationals Men's SP, where he skated to DJ Snake - Propaganda and Turn Down For What, and included a lot of cool staccato, hip-hop based movement and attitude in his programme. There has since been a Buzzfeed article about his performance. He is clearly an entertainer, and his attitude and confidence are fun to watch.
He has also performed as a concert pianist at Carnegie Hall, and has studied Finance at Fordham University, so he is multi-talented!
And not every skater is enlisted to appear in an official rap video:
