Inamin ni James Reid na mas pinili niyang magpahinga muna sa pag-arte para makapag-concentrate sa music. Bagama’t sa pag-arte siya talaga sumikat nang husto kasama ang ka-love team na si Nadine Lustre, ayon sa aktor ay parang may hinahanap pa rin siya.
“I’ve reached a level of fame, I’m not exactly sure how, but I reached a certain level of fame but it wasn’t as rewarding as I thought it would be,” ani James sa kanyang panayam sa vlog ng The Juans.
“What I did crave was that artistic expression. I didn’t want people to recognize me for who I am like my name or the fame. It was for the things that I did or that I created myself. So I’m kind of I’m going in reverse,” pahayag ni James.
“I was lucky enough to go down the path that I went and I feel like I’m going the other way, so it’s kind of weird,” dagdag pa niya.
Aminado rin naman siyang minahal niya ang acting, pero dumating na raw sa puntong naging paulit-ulit na lang.
“I loved acting. But you know, sometimes, after doing teleserye, teleserye, it gets repetitive and I felt like you know, kind of robotic, you know. And I craved something that came from me, that I could really express, I wasn’t just following instructions. It wasn’t feeding my soul,” sey pa niya.
Pag-amin pa ng aktor, “It was difficult for me to step away from all of that, you know, because I was in a very good place but I stepped away from doing that.”
At nagtayo na nga si James ng sarili niyang recording label, ang Careless Music, nagsulat ng mga sarili niyang kanta at nag-release ng album.
“It was purely because I wanted creative control. I didn’t know it was going to go this far. The first project I did was 'Palm Dreams.' It was my first time to write a whole album, completely original. We weren’t trying to make a number one album, a mainstream album. I was just making music that I like,” he said.
Hanggang sa nagkaroon na siya ng sariling artist.
“One thing led to another. I brought [Brett] Jackson, he came onboard as my very first artist. From there, it just grew out. It started out as just friends making music together. Once you share that vision, everything else starts coming together,” aniya.
