I was wondering if he was brought up religious and went to temple on Shabbat and heard a cantor sing that inspired him. if I am not mistaken I think Neil Diamond was.... Zimmie mentions Roscoe Holcomb as an influence. Not sure as a musical influence in general or as vocal influence. In my opinion I don't think Zimmie comes off as sounding exactly like Holcomb though. Another factor could be his nasally projection of his voice, so maybe when he sings he projects he singing through his nose. I think when you sing you should sing 50/50 nose and chest.
