I have a bunch of instrumentals but I need some quality vocalists. I would like to put out a CD on itunes featuring a wide-range of artists by 2010. You need to sound good and be able to record your own voice without background noise. Hit me up!

James Nichols makes instrumentals that can be characterized as a fusion of Pop, Electronic, Hip-Hop and Ethnic Sounds to back top-notch vocalists (Singers, rappers) of a wide range of genres. If you are interested in working with James, shoot him an email at jrn@olypen.com or hit him up on myspace at www.myspace.com/jamesjrn! :)
Why this name?
Its my initials, its just an easy name to use. Its nothing too fancy, maybe I'll think of a more elaborate one down the road! lol.
Do you play live?
I have not done any live performances, all my stuff is pre-recorded from home.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
More people purchase songs, whereas in the past I think they used to purchase the whole album. The internet also directs you towards music you may like (for example, iTunes).
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I would sign a record contract with a major label if they liked my instrumentals and wanted me to make instrumentals for them. I think it would be a difficult yet rewarding opportunity and there would be a lot to learn for me.
Band History:
I started making music in early 2008 after discovering the program Garage Band on my macbook. Since then and over one-hundred tracks later, I have moved on to Logic Pro Studio and am still learning all that it can do.
Your influences?
I love Producers Timbaland, Pharrell, and Danja. I grew up in the 80s so you may hear some 80s sounding symths in my work. I like everything from RnB to rock, Rap to Alternative, and even some Classical or Ambient Music.
Favorite spot?
I don't really have a favorite. I like sunny, warm places to visit, but I like where I live in northwestern Washington State. Its beautiful here from May to September; the rest of the year I would not mind escaping, lol.
Equipment used:
I use Logic Pro Studio, M-Audio Oxygen 49 Keyboard, and M80 Stereo Headphones.
