You probably know Tim James better than you think. He wrote Hoku's "Another Dumb Blonde" and Youngstown's "I'll Be Your Everything." Maybe he's sick of making other people famous, because now he has his own romantic single, "I Wish I Could Smile."
Age: 23
Home Base: Venice, CA
The Girl Behind "I Wish I Could
Smile": 'I found out she was seeing someone else. She had to
choose between someone she didn't know so well or a guy who loved her for
six years.'
Is She in The Video?: No.
'But I want to cast a girl who looks a lot like her.'
Relationship Songs Are His Specialty
Because: 'Whether it's a girlfriend, one night, or five minutes, it's
the way I get things out.'
First Thing He Did After Finishing
His Album: Knocked on the door of the girl in his apartment building
that he'd never had the confidence to ask out.
Why Sparks Didn't Fly: She'd
moved out two weeks before.
Why Barbie Wouldn't Be His Dream
Girl: 'You can't just look like everybody else.'
Intimidated By: Quiet Girls.
'I don't know where you're coming from or what you're thinking.'
Favorite Apartment Pastime:'When
other musicians come over we sit around and make fun of each other's songs.'
