Origin of the Name

January 11 2024

Allow me to explain the origin of my new artist name Jamesy the True. 

So firstly, "Jamesy" is the variation of my name that some of my favorite people have called me over the years. 

And even though I was just a kid when it came out, I've always loved the song "True" by UK band Spandau Ballet.

And then a few months ago I stumbled on a quote by Ryan Holiday paraphrasing the Stoic philosopher (not to mention Roman Emperor) Marcus Aurelius: 

"They'll cut you with knives, they'll stab you in the back, they'll shower you with curses, they'll argue in bad faith. But does that cut your mind off from clarity and sanity and self-control and justice? No. To the Stoics, it doesn't matter what other people do. It doesn't matter if you're recognized or rewarded for doing the right thing  Stay on the path that you know is true and good anyway."

Studying stoicism has given me strength these past few challenging years. And so, in summary, the name Jamesy the True is symbolic of where I find myself now, in terms of spiritual strength.

- Jamesy the True.
