The past few months have yielded success for James, topped off with a 2015 Grammy nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Album from Syro. Results for the Grammys will be announced February 8th, 2015.
James has also announced in a recent interview with Groove Magazine that he is working with a developer to create music software.
“Basically it starts with a sound, analyzes it, then does different versions of variations. It randomizes, it compares all of them to the original and then it picks the best one. It sounds totally awesome, but it needs to be tweeked a little bit. I will continue with this. I have a whole book full of ideas for software and instruments.”
