From 2005-2010 James’ focus was dedicated to Major Who Media, an artist development and resource company he co-founded with a select group of investors. In that time he maintained and developed several great artists (including Alec Gross, Paula Valstein, Wes Hutchinson, Atomic Tom, Shayna Zaid, more...) Many great songs and song placements came from MW efforts, and tons of relationships in the NACA college booking market, Labels, Producers, Marketeers, Social Media Professionals, and Managers continue with him through James Walsh Productions and Threshold Recording Studios NYC's services.
"I like to develop unique productions, management, business and marketing strategies for specific artists and musicians that catch my attention. My team and I like to go deep into the relationship and look for the unexplored but highly marketable aspects of an artist’s development potential - business and sound, and then drive it until we hit. We usually start with the sound and the music production and it blossoms from there. We are also blessed to have many great long term professional relationships to help facilitate our goals. And of course, a world class recording studio environment to create in without a ticking clock never hurts:)
I am always interested in meeting new artists and business professionals in ANY industry. If you are an artist, the best way to get my attention is an email with a SHORT bio, LINKS to work online, and contact information. If I feel a connection to the artist or opportunity I will be in touch- i promise. What we do is highly personal in nature and we are only able to work with a small roster of artists”.
