1. Hello, thank you for your time, please introduce yourself in a few words!
Whats up guys! Im James Gillespie and I do music things. 🙂
2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!
Well its been a crazy few months!! After releasing GONE ARE THE DAYS with Kygo – I just dropped the single FOOLISH LOVE. Its about not regretting what you gave to someone a long time ago. . . and wondering if its still there. As for tours…we can FINALLY get back out there again!! Ill be doing shows in N.Y & L.A in October which im proper excited about. Then ill be touring the UK in March and hopefully Europe just after that!!
3. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!
Hmm. I only sing about stuff that’s actually happened to me. I co-produce almost everything I release. I draw my own artwork. I love strawberry liquorice and I have nightmares every single night.
4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?
Thats a tricky one. I think probably Vans mixed with Gucci. Hahahaha. Its honest, simple and pure but sometimes the vocals break out and something special feels like its happening. Its like the note says more than the lyrics.
5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?
Every song is so different but in the end its always about understand who I am and why I do what I do. I think the reason it relates with people is because its honest. Even when it hurts. Its mostly about me being a bit of a screw up and not knowing why.
6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?
I play golf but not sure im that talented at it ahahaha. I draw loads, I used to tattoo, I snowboard, ice skate and am a total computer tech geek.
7. Being on stage feels like….!
Bearing your soul to strangers. Its like telling people all the bad shit you did in your life which is terrifying until they tell you that they feel the same.
8. How did you learn to sing/ to write/ to play??
Busking!!! I just played on the street every night. Started with about 5 songs and just kept adding to them. I did it all over the world for years and years. Starting doing poetry and putting it with guitar and into melodies. Thats it!
9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls
Do all the people you have written a song about KNOW its about them?
Nope. And sometimes thats tricky to deal with.
