About Me

I am James T. aka JimmyJames, Tegz, Vinny Vintage... some simply call me Jim... I am 25. Got my first guitar when I was 18 by trading a 50 bag for it, proof that its never too late too learn. I live for music.. I play and write songs as a form of therapy.. I hope to one day be able to write genuinly happy songs about life and what not... but seems like a long shot considering the run of bad luck if been having lately... you just gotta keep on... anyway played in the band Popcan Soundsystem.. It was awesome.. J Kendle, D McCann and GAK are great musicians and even better men.. I love those guys.. I love all kinds of music and dont really have a specific stlye, but i gotta be honest i don't like that pounding raver techno shit at all, gives me a headache .... Punk/rock'n'roll/hiphop/ska/reggae/acoustics is the shit.. I am actually a college graduate from Indiana University of Pa. But truthfully, i wish i never went... waste of time and money, but whatever ya know... guess it cant hurt having a degree... I try not to regret things too much in my life... at this point, I really only have 1 big 1and maybe a few more... Everything else that I could and probable should regret, I just chalk it up to a bump in the road and move on... I really hate politics, the whole government is crooked and they only care about lining their own pockets... so fuck'em...anyways...
