“Pat James talks about why he finally committed to a full-length album, how he thinks about genre (and why he tries not to), and what “success” looks like when you care more about real rooms than big numbers.”
The Indie Distributor
Every now and then it's worth looking in the rearview mirror.
This feature from The Indie Distributor captures a snapshot of where I was at the time—what I was thinking about, what I was creating, and what I hoped the future might look like.
It's a reminder that every song, every show, and every conversation becomes part of the story.
I hope you enjoy revisiting it with me.
