James shares his incredible journey: from starting as a drummer at age ten to being discovered on YouTube and touring global arenas with Shawn Mendes at just eighteen. James speaks candidly about the challenges of growing up in the spotlight, dealing with insecurities like skin struggles during his teens, and how he learned to protect his mental health while traveling the world.
We discuss the power of vulnerability in songwriting, the transition to being an independent artist, and the importance of staying present in the moment. An inspiring conversation about celebrating small wins, the reality of fame, and staying true to your core values.
