He's a mystery. Either because he wants it that way, or people in the interviews just didn't care enough to ask him about it or publish it.
Jim reminds me of Dumbledore from Harry Potter, where you find out all the backstory in the last book.
Edit: I once wrote a short story fan fic about how Jim became Jim Steinman haha. He had heard this record and all the walls started coming alive, all this magic stuff going on, and it changed him, like THE BIRTH OF SPIDERMAN!! And the guy at the record store who sold him the album was like the bookseller in THE NEVER ENDING STORY!!
