💚 Follow me to know when new music drops! 🤘
December 2023
12/31/23 Happy New Year's Eve! 🎉🥳 2023 has been a phenomenal year for me! Finally, uploaded and released my music for the first time, and shared it with the world! 🌎 Thank you so much for supporting me and listening to my music! I can't wait to show you what I've been up to preparing for my Debut, Full-Length Studio Album! In the meantime, here's a recap of everything I released in 2023:
12/30/23 Created a new Hypeddit Pre-Save page for All My Fault, "My Divorce Song". Comes out January 26th, 2024! Also, created more short form video content. 🎥 Can't wait to share it with you! Make sure to follow me on all the socials:
12/25/23 🎄Merry Christmas! 🎅🤶 I hope you have an amazing one! And my gift to you, the Album Covers of the first 3 singles of 2024 revealed! 🎁 All My Fault, Baby Baby 10 Weeks Old, and Crash and Burn. Check out their individual pages to see the Back Covers, which includes Track Listings. 2024 is going to be an amazing year! All 3 singles can be Pre-Saved now to ensure they're added to your Spotify Library. As always, thank you for supporting me! Exciting things to come!
12/24/23 Better to fight and fall than to live without hope. 🪓 Until Valhalla! Merry Christmas Eve! Also, filmed some video footage with Beckett, my son at the helm. He was directing and filming with the Insta360 Flow gimble. He did great! Can't wait to share the footage.
12/21/23 I setup my January Discovery Mode campaign. From the screenshot below, you can see I've been adding less and less songs to Discovery mode. It is reaching new listeners, no upfront costs, but I don't like the 30% commission they're taking on the backend. I don't want this to be a trend in the future, taking commissions in other areas of Spotify. I'm not completely abandoning it, but it won't be a major focus for me at this time.
12/20/23 I've become eligible for Spotify Showcase! I'll be promoting my debut single: All My Fault. Artists can use Showcase to promote music if they have more than 1k streams over the last 28 days in at least one of these target markets.

12/7/23 Pitched All My Fault (aka "the Divorce Song") to Amazon Music and Spotify! I also, recorded a quick introduction to the song on Amazon. I might have to add these as extras when the full-length debut album comes out. Pitch below. Yes, a bit bold, but it's time to step it up a notch for 2024!
I'm James and I plan on revitalizing Rock Music! I create alternative, modern, pop rock that's filled with emotion and drive! Catchy guitars, heartfelt lyrics, and unique melodies. My debut single, All My Fault "the divorce song" is an emotional rollercoaster! The highs, the lows, the deceit, and the aftermath of my actual divorce in 2020. From the fierce intro to the melodic verses, the driving chorus to the satisfying conclusion, you'll have this song on REPEAT! This song will be everywhere!🤘
