Sinariwa ng singer, actor, at talent manager na si James Reid ang buhay niya sa nakalipas na isang dekada nang kapanayamin siya sa “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.”
Sa isang episode ng “Fast Talk” noong Biyernes, Mayo 31, ipinakita ni Boy kay James ang video performance nito sa GMA Network ten years ago.
“What was you’re state of mind ten years ago? What were you thinking? Where did you want to go?” usisa ni Boy.
Sagot ni James: “If I look at this kid 10 years ago, he was just really going with the flow, seeing where life is taking him. I never imagined I was going to join show business, I never imagined that I will be an actor singing.

“I was a shy kid from Australia and life was kind of throwing me into all of these new things. I was really just going with the flow seeing where life would take me, trying everything,” aniya.
Dagdag pa niya: “I think at that time I was a little bit lost also. Lost in the context of what I meant to be doing. I was trying everything. Acting, dancing, singing.”
Pero ngayong 2024, tila natagpuan na raw ni James ang sarili. Hindi na siya naliligaw tulad noon. Malinaw na ang direksyong nais niyang puntahan. At malaki raw ang naitulong sa kaniya ng musika pagdating dito.
“Not lost anymore. I think after exploring so many different things, after going through different management, doing film and then going independent, try music, I think I found really what makes me happy and found that balance of my career and my lifestyle. I feel like my music has helped me open up really,” wika niya.
Matatandaang kamakailan lang ay inilabas ni James ang pinakabago niyang single na “Hurt Me Too” sa iba’t ibang streaming platform.
