Your name:
I've been called
a great many things but James Poole is the one my parents prefer.
Where are you
from?
The Norfolk
broads, various little villages. It's like the Shire only with more village
cooperatives and goal posts with no nets.
How
would you describe yourselves and your music?
Blue-eyed soul
at the heart with a hint of pop. As for me, well, find out for yourself, I'm
always on Twitter.
Who
are your main influences musically?
They vary. I
like listening to a bit of everything. Depends on my mood as well. Often, I
listen to music which will help with what I'm trying to create. So, as an
example, recently, I needed some intense atmospheric drums on a track, so I
listened to a lot of Lorde, whose engineer is a drums wizard, then when I work
on my own drums production I can compare it to what is popularly seen as the
very best.
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
I have a great
many specific goals but generally, I'd like longevity, versatility and to feel
that at the end of it all, I'm leaving behind a recognised legacy that I can be
proud to call my life's work.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
On an academic
level, teaching myself how to produce. Before Summer 2014, I'd only written
toplines, hooks and melodies. Now I feel more creative, limitless and in much
better control of my art and what I release.
Arguably more
important are my loyal and passionate fans. They are a constant highlight, with
me through everything. They mean the world to me. They're probably, definitely
reading this - HIIIIIIII GUYS!
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
None really. We
all meet plenty of fools in whatever career we choose but often surviving
ensures winning. Don't let anyone ever be the reason you drop out or give up.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what
would it be and why?
I couldn't pick
a song from the first EP. It'd be like having a favourite child. The next
release will be the title track of my second EP - I think that represents who I
am right now.
Where
can we listen to it?
Here's a link to
my debut EP:
'For Your Ears
Only'
Like me on
Facebook and follow me on Twitter and you'll soon get a taste of the second EP.

can we find out more about your music?
