Although James Durbin has been signed to a co-management deal with 19 and Red Light, it looks like he has not been signed to a record deal yet, although he has been busy co-writing with some heavy hitters, according to a new interview with Blogcritics.org.
So once the tour wraps up, are you just going to hit the ground running working on your album?
I’m already hitting the ground running. The stars are aligning, everything’s falling into place. You’ve got to get on it. I’ve been doing a lot of writing, and working with folks. James Michael from Sixx:A.M., Dj Ashba from Nikki Sixx’s band. Tomorrow I’m working with Marty Fredrickson that’s worked with Carrie Underwood, Daughtry, Buckcherry, and right now working on the new Aerosmith record. I’m working with him and James Michael tomorrow. Writing all day. We just wrote an amazing track, we’re shopping it around, and hopefully some good news will be coming out very soon.
James’ interview took place before his hometown Idol show in San Jose a few days ago. The Season 10 rocker also talks about life on the road and some of his best memories from last spring’s Idol competition.
