James Wade is the epitome of a true hip-hop musician and artist, writing and producing all of his own music.  His style is influenced by soul and R&B music and focuses largely on lyricism and song structure.  His goal is to create music that everyone can relate to in some way.

“The Common Ground” proves James’ versatility as an artist, showing that he can write and perform music that is deep and emotional (such as on tracks # 6 and 18,“Smile” and “On My Way”) as well as commercial (such as on tracks #4 and 9, “Weatherman” and “Famous”).

James Wade has always found ways to express himself and get his message across through his music, however this time around, he wanted to create music that appealed to a larger audience and had commercial appeal.  James states that “…at some point I had to find a way to say what I wanted to say and what they wanted me to say, I had to find that common ground.”

Now that James is focused on taking his career to the next level, he has worked with DJ Beatz who acted as an advisor for “The Common Ground.”  DJ Beatz is well known in the music industry, having also worked with the Ying Yang Twins, Lil’ Jon, and Mike Posner.
