The Minnesota-raised, Los Angeles-based independent artist August James is a rare triple threat as a singer, songwriter, and producer. August’s autobiographical coming-of-age lyricism combined with his signature self-produced pop sound of synth-fueled sadness, smooth layered vocals, and wistful melodies has quickly built a loyal organic following: to date, he has garnered 45K+ monthly Spotify listeners and 2M+ streams on his discography completely independently, with editorial placements on Spotify playlists Lorem, Fresh Finds, Indie Pop, tear drop, and more.

Minneapolis-based, R&B influenced, indie rock singer/songwriter

FL STUDIOS 

U.T.C Production repents a understanding of over seven years experience in music production (DAWs specifically). U.T.C (Under the City) was created for the soul purpose of learning and understanding the beauty and the soothing melodies of modern music production. As sad as it is to say the first people that shared my passion for Hop-Hop production were through myspace. As it turns out, my myspace connections became a whole new introduction into home recording/studios and the modern equipment available at such low prices.

-My resume includes 2 appearances in the 
Miltown Beatdown in 2010

Made it to the semifinals...Keep in mind I was 16 at the time......

I also had the pleasure of meeting quest love, Masta ace, and Diamond in person at the 2010 Miltown beat down. Jordan (88.9) marketed the event so well we were able to meet and listen to the wisdom of real hip hop artists, that hadn't just made music, they helped create the golden era.

in case your curious about the seriousness of MiltownBeatown check out the past judges. 

I think its safe to say I was a little over my head at this point, with little experience and essentially no understanding of what the possibilities could have amounted to, I chose ignorance. The next link represents my second experience in the Miltown Beatdown 2012. The link below explains enough...
