About Me

Singer-Songwriter James Below Reveals an All-New Take on the Classic Lullaby on His Debut Album “I Once Was Told”--This talented new voice answers everyone who’s ever yearned for music the whole family and the child in us all can love--– Lullabies are getting an entirely new and updated sound, as singer-songwriter James Below releases his debut album “I Once Was Told.” On his exciting new release (release date: XX), Below gives classic lullabies an all-new take by turning the lullaby album into what he calls “a storybook album.”Recorded with an 18-piece orchestra at the legendary Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, Calif, Below’s “I Once Was Told” bridges the generational gap, allowing the listener to be a child again and believe anything is possible.Below produced and created the album as a cross between the old pop standard album that used a live orchestra and the feeling of an animated film. He calls it a storybook album because the stories that we grow up with are the stories that we pass on to the generations that follow, and as time passes we continue to find the deeper meanings to each story we loved as a child.“I Once Was Told” is filled with all original music. “I wanted to create something cinematic, majestic, and nostalgic” says Below. The album begins with an original nursery rhyme that sets the mood perfectly for the listener. Each songs is its own story that allows the listeners imagination to play it’s own movie.It’s been lamented that lullabies have been lost in the 21 century. Not any more. With Below’s background in music (graduate of UCI music school), work for the Walt Disney Company, and time spent with his 7-year-old niece, he has crafted a new way of bringing culture, originality and inspiration into our lives with music. “I Once Was Told” gives the listener a true gift, the gift of feeling young again.GO CHECK OUT WWW.JAMESBELOW.COM TO BUY THE ALBUM!!!!
