About Me

Tim James and Steven McClintock, owners of McJames Music Inc., met in 1977 in Newport Beach, California while playing in local bands. Tim orchestrated Steven his first cut by placing "Until Tonight" with his long time friend Juice Newton for her upcoming Capitol Records LP "TAKE HEART". At that time Island Music owned the copyright to "Until Tonight". Tim thought this was so easy that he and Steven might as well form their own publishing company and keep the copyrights for themselves.
Five long years and thousands of song pitches later they had their first cut as McJames Music. A song they'd written for an Anne Murray Christmas album (CHRISTMAS NEEDS LOVE TO BE CHRISTMAS) was recorded by Andy Williams.
Tim and Steven are still the sole owners of McJames Music Inc. and continue to passionately write and pitch songs as well as actively sign new music from other writers. McJames Music's catalog now contains over 2200 songs of which over 470 have been recorded for commercial release as well has 19 film scores including the classic Sci Fi adventure SPACE MUTINY. And the story continues.....

Request for the score to SPACE MUTINY have been coming in and though we tried for years to hide our involvement, we now embrace it. This was a classic BAD B minus film from the early 90's scored by writers of McJames Music. Classicly bad and perfect at the same time.
