James Wold
By
As a founding member of the Top Model duo, James Wold has been a singer/songwriter/musician for many years.
James grew up in suburban Chicago within the throes of an artsy, musical family. Jimmy Webb, The Beatles, Motown and the music of his father’s was the childhood soundtrack. He started playing in bands at age 13 and professionally by age 16. James is no name-dropper… He once made Beyonce belly laugh in an elevator on the way to a taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show where he performed an un-aired performance with Charlotte Church. Thousands of gigs and two-too many hard knocks later, he finds himself existing in Nashville where he’s been since 2003-ish. As co-director of the runway of TOP MODEL, James has recorded along with many of the most extraordinary talents, a collection of songs written with his longtime songwriting partner Ira Rosoff. Vanilla Ice once opened for him.
