let James introduces himself a little bit on the Christian

10
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:22.559
Music Bro podcast.

11
00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:28.320
My name is James Whitehead. I am a very new

12
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:31.480
Christian artist. I'm not new to music. I've been out

13
00:00:31.519 --> 00:00:33.200
producing music for probably like.

14
00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.520
Eight years now mab eight nine years.

15
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:40.520
But this is my first time actually being the person that's,

16
00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:43.280
you know, in front of the camera now.

17
00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:44.479
Usually i'm behind the scenes.

18
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:47.560
I feel that before I started this podcast, I was

19
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.119
a little behind the scenes. I didn't want to behind

20
00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.399
the scenes stuff and I was like, I want to

21
00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:52.240
do something different. So now I'm in front of the

22
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:54.880
camera again after taking video classes in high school. But

23
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.079
it's just nice to see another behind the scenes guy

24
00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:59.200
that's now in front of the camera.

25
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:03.799
Yeah, it's I'm still getting used to it still getting

26
00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:07.840
used to really taking my own music seriously and putting

27
00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:13.159
it out there. And you know, it's this, it's it's

28
00:01:13.400 --> 00:01:17.040
very it's different. It's all I can sense.

29
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:20.400
It takes time to the justice. I'm learning curve. Everything's

30
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.640
a learning curve nowadays. So but thank you for joining

31
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:23.040
me today.

32
00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.120
No, I appreciate it.

33
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.480
And for those who are watching this channel, remember the

34
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.439

me a new artist today and James, and we're gonna

37
00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.200
learn a bit about James and his journey so far.

38
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:39.280
So for those who then met James, can you tell

39
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:41.359
us a little bit how you got started in your

40
00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.159
music industry? Like talk a little bit like what maybe

41
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.400
you said you were behind the scenes producing for like

42
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:48.359
eight years and now you're an artist. Can tell us,

43
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.920
but maybe you decide to make music as like an artist?

44
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.319
Well, stop playing basketball and I really needed something, you know,

45
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:57.680
after college, I stopped playing basketball and I needed something

46
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:05.079
else to fulfill that avoid So started making beats and

47
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:07.680
I got really good at it, and then you know,

48
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.080
I started producing for local artists. At the time, I

49
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.080
was living in North Carolina, when I started. So first

50
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:18.000
started in North Carolina, then moved out up to Jersey

51
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:21.000
where I am now New Jersey and producing for a

52
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:25.080
lot of people in the South Jersey area, and recently

53
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:30.120
stopped really producing for other people. And now I'm putting

54
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.439
my own music out and it's just crazy. Like when

55
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:37.360
I first it's my first time really doing the music

56
00:02:37.879 --> 00:02:39.960
for real, and now I'm a Christian artist.

57
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.360
It's just crazy how that happens.

58
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:43.800
Just released your first song we just talked about like

59
00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:45.879
two weeks ago. At the time of recording this episode,

60
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.120
I used to say, this episode will probably be up

61
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.240
in the next week or so, so surprise everybody. But

62
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.240
can you talk a little bit about that song? It

63
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:53.560
was called Six of the Stones. Can it tell us,

64
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:54.960
like what inspired you to write it? What was the

65
00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:56.759
writing process of that song, because it was like your

66
00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.800
first song you ever wrote. Well an artist, I should say.

67
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:03.520
So, it's not the first song I ever wrote as

68
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:04.479
an artist.

69
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.039
It's it's not even the first song I ever wrote

70
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.360
as a Christian artist. The first song ever wrote as

71
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:12.960
a Christian artist, the one that kind of like started everything.

72
00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.360
I haven't put it out yet. I really hold that song.

73
00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.800
Theare in my heart. But because it started.

74
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:25.199
Everything but Sticks and Stones came, you know. I was

75
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:26.319
because I was a.

76
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.719
Trap producer, trapping R and B producer, and I was like, man,

77
00:03:30.639 --> 00:03:34.120
God called me to make Christian music, and He's called

78
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.120
me to make Christian music plenty of times. I just

79
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:38.560
didn't listen, you know. So I was like, all right,

80
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.719
start being obedient, and I'm like, do I have to

81
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:45.039
make new beats? I was like, do I gotta make

82
00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:47.439
new beats? I was like, I don't know. So I

83
00:03:47.479 --> 00:03:48.599
was like, no, I don't think I have to.

84
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:49.039
Make new beats.

85
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.000
I think I can praise God on the trap beats

86
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:54.800
I have. You know, Stick and Stones is just my

87
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.759
version of praising God over what would I guess people

88
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:01.599
would call a SECULARS and beat, but it's not.

89
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.439
I'm praising God the whole time.

90
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:09.120
And just telling you know, my story of being pretty

91
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.919
much being disobedient, you know, to what God wanted me

92
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.400
to do, and really I had to let go of

93
00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:17.040
the world and trust him, you know, trust that, you

94
00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.560
know He's got it. You know.

95
00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.439
I was researching you when Matt Matt told me about you.

96
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:27.240
I want to play the song I saw one for

97
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.199
your Instagram page, and it's really cool. You're getting what

98
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:30.759
you're doing a lot of creative reels. Can you tell

99
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:32.600
us a little about what your creative process is for

100
00:04:32.639 --> 00:04:34.240
the reels and like what you want to engage from that.

101
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:37.519
So even that.

102
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:42.560
I'm new to just even that, you know, uh, it's

103
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:47.959
really just me. So I did use I used to

104
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:49.879
have a manager when I was producing, but we kind

105
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:54.759
of fell out. So now it's just me figuring everything out,

106
00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:56.279
you know, and.

107
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.040
I just pray about it. You know, I'll figure it out.

108
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.319
You know. I've been getting a lot of good feedback.

109
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.800
I've been just you know, trying to be as creative

110
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.319
as possible with what I have, you know, just the

111
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:20.399
iPhone and the tripod, you know, and it seems to

112
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:23.800
be working. A lot of people enjoy enjoy the song

113
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.600
and it's starting to find people.

114
00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:27.879
So I'm thankful for that.

115
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:30.240
Really exciting to hear and for those listening to the song,

116
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.959
I recommend checking it out. Check out James's Instagram page.

117
00:05:32.959 --> 00:05:35.199
I'll make sure to tag him and stuff later. You know.

118
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:37.519
The drill by now if you're a news if you're

119
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.759
returning to the channel and chat out is real something

120
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.399
to reels are actually really engaging and really gathers an audience,

121
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.240
and it's really cool to see those reels like be interactive.

122
00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:49.160
And I guess real are now like a newer way

123
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.639
to get music across and I think it's a multi

124
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.519
platform thing like you can do real. TikTok is full

125
00:05:54.560 --> 00:05:56.879
of pretty much reels basically, or you call them tiktoks,

126
00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.720
but they're the same thing basically Instagram shorts, you Tube shorts,

127
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.480
and I've and you like, that's up a future and

128
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:04.920
it's going to be more help discover more artists.

129
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.560
With James right here, Yeah, yeah, definitely.

130
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.360
Do you have any goals or dreams that like you

131
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:12.319
wanted to come up with, like in the next year

132
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.279
or two, Like let's your goal, like you want you

133
00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:15.519
want to gather with your music, like.

134
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.000
Uh, you know, uh, everybody's been asking me that, like

135
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:23.160
what what's the goal? And I'm like, I don't know,

136
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.959
because you know, for the longest, I just wanted to

137
00:06:25.959 --> 00:06:26.839
be behind the scenes guy.

138
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.639
I wanted to be the guy that supports the superstar.

139
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:31.639
You know.

140
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.759
I wanted to be the one that supports the superstar,

141
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.439
not actually be the superstar.

142
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.639
But you know, this is what God called me. To do.

143
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.680
So really, I I just want to, you know, I

144
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:49.600
feel like with my production and the way I write

145
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.800
songs and especially the way I write hooks, that I

146
00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:57.839
could really latch onto the youth in a very positive way.

147
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.480
I remember I played uh, I played Sticks and Stones

148
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:05.519
for a couple of kids, and they're like, wow, I

149
00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.759
didn't I didn't know Christian raports sound like this, and

150
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.879
I was like, yeah, I guess sound like this. So

151
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:15.959
they were surprised that it was actually a song praising God,

152
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.600
and I was like, yeah, it is.

153
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:21.839
With that, Like you said, like the younger audience you

154
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.959
showed that song. Do you have like any advice for

155
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:27.199
anyone else in your shoes out or like I guess,

156
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:29.920
like a newer artist or like a younger audience don't

157
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:32.240
want to get involved in like the music industry or

158
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:34.560
being in a producing wise and everything. Do you have

159
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:35.759
any advice for those people?

160
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:39.199
Just do it?

161
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.360
I mean, just do it when you first start out.

162
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:45.639
It's not gonna be perfect, it's gonna be far from perfect.

163
00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.439
You just gotta keep going. You know, you're gonna get

164
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.399
better every day no matter what you do. The more

165
00:07:50.399 --> 00:07:53.079
you do something, you're gonna get better and then eventually

166
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.160
you're gonna find your own way of doing things and

167
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.560
that's going to create your own sound.

168
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.879
No, and everyone every sounds unique. I feel like a

169
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.560
Chris Shunt hip hop, R and B stage is ever

170
00:08:06.600 --> 00:08:09.120
involving it. I think it's growing in the last two

171
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:11.000
to three years. I would say, like you have like

172
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.959
a lot of artists emerge like Niles Minic and all

173
00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.720
those like those those people are just like disguy's the

174
00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:19.040
limit in that genre right now.

175
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:25.000
Yeah, I'm I'm learning about the genre itself. Like the

176
00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:27.759
only artists I even knew was Forest Frank. I was

177
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:31.519
like it, that's the only orgist I do. But now

178
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:34.080
I'm learning about so many other artists, and there's so

179
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.919
many incredible Christian artists.

180
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:39.279
It's like I'm like, Wow, it's like a whole world.

181
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:43.120
That the world doesn't really know about yet exactly.

182
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.399
Do you have any musical influences in your journey, Like,

183
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:50.360
like you said, you've been producing and you're a newer artist,

184
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.960
but do you have like any musical inspirations like that's

185
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.440
why who motivated me to make my song? Or this

186
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:59.120
is whose beats I really enjoy and inspired me?

187
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:05.320
So I mean, honestly, so I grew up with music

188
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:07.320
in my family.

189
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:08.720
Like from both sides of my family and my mom's

190
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:11.559
side of my dad's side. Everybody can play an instrument,

191
00:09:12.279 --> 00:09:16.480
but me, I was the one that was outside of

192
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:21.120
playing sports. But everybody can play an instrument, and you know,

193
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.960
so me getting involved in music was not like it

194
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:30.120
wasn't like surprising anybody. I was like, oh, yeah, we've

195
00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:36.639
all tried it before. And as far as influence, I

196
00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:42.799
was heavily influenced by early Kanye early Kanye West.

197
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.120
That's really it.

198
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.519
D you played sports? What sports did you played? Just curious?

199
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:57.759
I played basketball in college a Methodist University for three years.

200
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:02.159
Yeah, so what else do I played?

201
00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.440
I played football in high school, played baseball in high school.

202
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.159
But basketball, that's just the one I loved, so I

203
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.720
chose to do that in college.

204
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:11.679
A favorite basketball team or player.

205
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.440
And I don't have a favorite.

206
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.720
I don't have a favorite team, but I would say

207
00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:24.200
my favorite player right now is Luca.

208
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:25.080
I like Luca.

209
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.799
It's just something about the way he plays. It's just

210
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.320
it's just so smooth. I don't know, it's just something

211
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.240
about the way he plays.

212
00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:35.720
It's so smooth, and it's fun because I just interviewed

213
00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:38.000
an artists in Jordan Mayre. He's a big basketball fan too,

214
00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.240
and we were talking about basketball from the Benacus. But

215
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.320
it was pulling because I was in actually Nashville when

216
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:44.759
the Luca trade happened last year. Like all I stided

217
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:46.519
that like just exploded out of nowhere. I was in

218
00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.279
the middle of like an artist meeting and then the

219
00:10:48.360 --> 00:10:50.759
Luca tradeer coming out everywhere. So like I was meeting

220
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:52.480
Christian artists and I alwas to have Luca traded, and

221
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.440
I was like, bro, Luca Dodgers just got created and

222
00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:56.240
we got suck in our meeting talked about that.

223
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:00.960
No, yeah, that trade was and that was crazy. I

224
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.320
couldn't I couldn't believe that was real. I was like, no,

225
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:05.840
there's no way exactly.

226
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:09.559
I was like, whoa, but I don't know where I

227
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:11.080
just have a few extra minutes with you today. Is

228
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.639
there anything you want to talk about, Like if you

229
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:14.480
have any words to wisdom or anything you want to

230
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.320
share that's on your heart or anything.

231
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:17.799
Where is a wisdom?

232
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.559
I would say, uh, just speaking from personal experience, it

233
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.559
would be a lot easier, especially for me, had I

234
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.639
been obedient to God the first eighty million times we

235
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:32.879
want to do. I feel like it would have been

236
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:37.080
you know, especially because I have kids. And you know,

237
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:40.840
a big reason why I wanted to do Christian rap

238
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.960
was just because, like I would produce songs or even write,

239
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:48.120
because I would write songs too, and I wouldn't let

240
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.840
my kids listen to them. And then God put it

241
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.320
on my heart to like really sit me down and

242
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.960
think about it, Well, why don't you want your.

243
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:53.720
Kids listening today?

244
00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:57.600
Well, because of the way it sounds, it's not really

245
00:11:57.840 --> 00:11:59.879
there's nothing anything positive in here that I would want

246
00:11:59.879 --> 00:12:01.600
them to repeat or do.

247
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.080
So it's like, so, then why are you making you.

248
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:05.960
Should be proud, Like I should be proud to show

249
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.159
my kids a song, you know, like, hey, this is

250
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:08.600
what I did.

251
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:13.519
But instead, you know, like it's it's just ridiculous. I

252
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:14.279
have to go into the.

253
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.559
Car to mix a song because I don't want my

254
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:17.600
kids to repeat what they hear.

255
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:24.080
That's that's that's outrageous. No, and that's really what you know.

256
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.759
That was a big reason wh I was like, yeah, yeah,

257
00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.759
you're right, God, I need to do it your way,

258
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.639
cause you know, kids will repeat what they hear and

259
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.000
some of the things my kids say, I know where

260
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:38.480
they got it.

261
00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:44.720
From, you know. So oh and by the way, I'm sorry.

262
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:50.240
I have four kids, three girls, one boy, so they

263
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.960
were a big inspiration for me to want to do

264
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:53.600
Christian rap.

265
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.799
And like we talked, we talked about I talked about

266
00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:58.960
just in an earlier episode today when I was filming

267
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.519
an episode. Only plays a big part of your community.

268
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:03.240
And it's always great to have your family to support

269
00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:05.200
you whatever you do. And it's great to have like

270
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:08.120
a big family connection like you're making the songs, like

271
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.000
get all of your kids and everything and everything.

272
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.919
Yeah, and now you know, now my daughter wants to

273
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.080
write songs. She's learning the guitar, so now she wants

274
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.240
to write songs. And no, I'm excited to be able

275
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:21.159
to help it with that too.

276
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:25.639
So that's awesome, awesome, and we could have a learned

277
00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.960
it from like writing songs and everything. So yeah, James,
