Pop artist RUSSEL JAMES has an all new single out and about called "Comedown". With that said, why not come on down to find out what Russel James himself had to say about it, among other things.
1. Please tell us about the history of yourself.
Russell: My name is Russell James and I am an Electronic Pop artist. I’ve played in many bands before and I just got tired of things not working out and having to rely on other people for my success. I finally decided to go solo because now, I only have to rely on myself. I’ve been solo for about a year now and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made musically.
2. What’s the origin of your stage name?
Russell: James is actually my first name and Russell is my middle. I wanted to use Russell James to separate my personal life from my artistry.
3. Where are you based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could
recommend?
Russell: I’m from Leesburg, GA. we don’t really have an original music scene here. It’s mostly taken over by cover bands. There are however, a few hard working original bands from my area including Unbreakable Bloodline and Days To Come. They both put in a lot of work and have been pursuing music for a while now. I’ve definitely learned a lot from both of those bands. All great people.
4. How would you describe your style?
Russell: Pop. Definitely poppy mixed with some slight rock and hip hop variations of tracks.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
Russell: My latest release is my new single "Comedown". I also released a music video for the song which you can check out on YouTube and Facebook. The song is available on all major music outlets online. I really enjoy this song and I feel it really has a sound if it’s own. It has catchy melodies, a nice rhythm that sets the pace for the song, and many people can relate to the context of the lyrics as well. I’m definitely proud of this one.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Russell: Absolutely. I am currently writing, recording, and even collaborating with other artists. I’m also working on releasing multiple music videos this year along with a brand new EP titled "Foundations".
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
Russell: My shows this year will be promoting the release of my EP. If you’d like exclusive access to hear them before they release later this year, now is the chance.
8. What plans do you have for the future?
Russell: I’m constantly writing new material and I’m looking forward to releasing new songs throughout this year. I will be in the studio quite a lot.
9. Where can we listen to your music and buy merch?
Russell: I’m on all major online music outlets and I’m also pretty active on social media. You can follow me on Facebook and Instagram. -@russelljamesmusicofficial.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
Russell: Catchy melodies and relatable lyrical content. I believe those are the driving force behind my music.
