Rare Americans - Jamesy Boy & The Screw Loose Zoo - The 3 Me's

Do you ever see a picture from years ago and think

"Wow, how'd I change in such a blink?"

I feel like I've been three totally different people

Living in the same body

The first person was an athlete

Since I was able to walk, I could also skate

In elementary school, I was training 20 hours a week to be a professional athlete

A tennis player and a hockey goalie, specifically

And I got pretty damn close with hockey

The next is a businessman, the life I was born into

To be honest, probably what would have come most natural

My family's been in the car industry since my dad's dad started selling cars in the 60s

In Hamilton, Ontario

I know how a car dealership runs, top to bottom

It's in my blood

Around this time is when I started playing music

Which birthed the third person: an artist

Probably the biggest shocker in my whole life was learning I could write a song

I bought a guitar, I learned one cover song

It was "Third Engine" by Say Anything

I started messin' with the chords

And like a ghost took over my body

I wrote my first song in 15 minutes

I knew right away

Of my three lives, this one grabbed me the most

Like they say happens when you meet the love of your life

You just know
