    i mean this from the bottom of my heart, watching James perform is something that fills me with _so_ much joy. it's such a rarity nowadays to find an artist that can make you feel just as much as he does. you can so clearly see in the way he dances, moves and sings that he just has so much fun with his craft, and it's so damn inspiring! James, you've created something SO special, i can't wait to see what you'll do next.

    I feel like I’m in some tavern in an upbeat part of of a fantasy movie and I love it. Something about the beat and the way you drop some of the vocals really low gives a goth sound at times. Idk music terminology well enough to describe it, but it’s good stuff.

    This is legitimately so cool, the video Kurtis made about you honestly inspired me so much, I've been trying to get into making music for a while now but I'm exactly the type of person who is plagued with the fear of what other people will think so I've stuck to covers so far, but I'd love to release my own music sometime, and your confidence and the interview helps!
