James who was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Okolue in Libreville, Gabon, is the only male of eight children. After his primary education in Gabon, Jim relocated to Nigeria to get his secondary education in Abuja and Jos, where studied Psychology in the University of Jos. He later got a diploma in Banking and Finance. He was once a product model before venturing into Acting full time in 2001. Apart from acting, Jim owns a music label named Untamed Records and runs a foundation named Jim Iyke Foundation meant for children with special disabilities.
