How I Made My First Ever Music Video

[@kellymcfarlane6120]

Having watched you for years, through the ups and downs you have faced as a creator, I am so profoundly moved by the line ‘are you entertained?’. I literally cry every time. You condensed so much of your experiences and hardships into those 3 words… it’s incredible.

As someone who as watched James’ videos for years it’s so beautiful to see all of this come together. As a viewer I am so proud of how far he has come. I can also really heavily relate to the song with my own experiences, obviously very different but I can still relate. Every-time I listen to the song or watch the video I’m immediately brought to tears🫶🏼

[@autumnhaynes6738]

As someone who watches James religiously, I expected these music videos and songs to be irrelevant to him (as most influencers do). But, as someone who is so incapulated by dancing (being a dancer myself) and also loving the heart felt, dramatic, heart booming songs; I can happily say they are my favorites. Well done James. I cannot wait for more!
