Hey there, @ItsJamesJ (Rock Star)! Tell us something about yourself.

I’m 17 living in the United Kingdom, in my final year of sixth form, studying Computer Science, Media Studies and Paramedical Science (as an extended project)!

In my free time I’m a Java Developer and Systems Administrator. Music is probably one of the biggest things I do in my freetime though, there’s never a day where Spotify isn’t booted away and streaming those bangers!

If you could be part of any band/group for a day who would that be and why?

Definitely The Chainsmokers, I’m in love with their music and what they can do. Plus they seem like awesome guys to spend a day with.

Do you usually listen to music while driving/traveling? Do you have special songs/music that you choose for driving long distances?

Would have to be a Nice Hair playlist put together by The Chainsmokers. Or possibly a really “chill” EDM song, such as "Sunset" by Creaky Jackals.

Do you know the lyrics to all the songs you like? Could you give an example?

The majority of them, yeah haha! I would say either "Phone Down by Lost Kings" or "All We Know by The Chainsmokers".

Thanks for taking your time to chat with us. Before we go, what joke always makes you laugh?

My wife told me to stop singing Wonderwall,

I said maybe…

Thanks @ItsJamesJ for bearing with me!
