In our media-saturated world, it is easy to overlook the many artists that thrive without labels, without big tours, without all the hoopla and soap opera intrigue that accompanies "success" these days. These individuals thrive on their own terms, and such is the multi-talented songwriter, guitarist and band mate of several successful independent groups, Jim Tashjian. Tashjian started out studying jazz guitar in university, which brought him into many different musical projects. He drifted toward, pop and rock, drawn by the interest of songwriting. Bands like District 97, Miss Remember, Storm Jameson are but a few of the music groups that Tashjian has had a commanding hand in. This interview gave Jim a chance to showcase his talents, talk about his background and delve a bit into what he feels is success. That success is firmly on his own terms, a good study for those of us who want to chart their own course in the music business. You can follow Jim at https://www.facebook.com/jim.tashjian.
