James Moshir Ram At The Fights interview on MMA and publicity

The James Moshir Ram At The Fights interview moved from his work bringing talent and media to red carpets to his hopes for a Grammy Awards nomination. Moshir also told Ram At The Fights why he trains in kickboxing, follows Conor McGregor and draws on fighters’ routines in his entertainment career.

What did James Moshir say about his awards and entertainment work?

James Moshir brought out his awards to show why recognition matters to him, but credited the people around him rather than presenting the honors as a solo achievement. He discussed peace and congressional recognition, a Muay Thai and kickboxing honor, and recording work while describing an entertainment career that also puts him behind the scenes.

Showing the awards

Among the honors Moshir showed were an EZ Way rising star award, an Ambassador for Peace award and recognition connected to a Muay Thai and kickboxing world championship. He also displayed congressional awards and discussed two recording releases, one associated with a radio-tracking campaign and another with digital distribution.

Recognition, he said, depends on mutual support. Moshir credited his team and said he would not be where he is without people supporting him and his supporting them. He also described relationships he has built with celebrities, publicists and the press while working at events.

Working in front of and behind the camera

Moshir said he performs, presents and hosts at entertainment events, but also calls talent and media to help fill their red carpets. His description of being both in front of and behind the camera explains why he sees publicity as part of his work rather than a separate career.

Why did James Moshir start a publicity agency through DM Pancha Incorporations?

James Moshir said he began running publicity through DM Pancha Incorporations, his label, because event organizers were already asking him to bring together celebrities, photographers and media. He wanted to turn work he had been doing informally for friends into a service clients could request and pay for.

The Talking to Strangers premiere

As an example, Moshir described a world premiere of Talking to Strangers at the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills. He said he helped invite talent and media, and identified Breaking Bad actor RJ Mitte as the film’s star. For Moshir, getting both guests and cameras to an event is central to making its red carpet work.

He said musicians, actors, models and influencers could reach out for publicity help. He also described connecting friends with interviews and getting photographers and media into events. Although he sometimes keeps that coordinating role low-key while appearing on camera himself, he said an empty red carpet serves nobody.

The Hollywood Independent Music Awards nomination

Moshir also discussed his nomination at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards. He said he did not win and described himself as a top-five nominee. The appearance was another part of the entertainment work he was pursuing alongside his publicity business.

What did James Moshir say about a Grammy Awards nomination and helping others?

James Moshir said he was waiting for a decision on a possible Grammy Awards nomination; he did not say he had received one. He said he was nominated for the World Entertainment Awards and hoped a Grammy nomination and win would follow, while crediting his faith and his efforts to help others for his opportunities.

Discussing his ambitions, Moshir said he prayed to Jesus every day for a Grammy nomination. He described the World Entertainment Awards event as taking place the day before the Grammys and said Grammy voting members attend it. His confidence about what might happen next was an expression of hope, not an announcement of a result.

He connected that hope to a broader view of success. Moshir said people pursuing a dream should consider those around them, and he objected to talking about luxury purchases without acknowledging people who lack food, water or housing.

He recalled leaving a restaurant, seeing a person experiencing homelessness, and giving that person his food and $100 before praying for him. Moshir summed up the principle behind that account this way:

all I've ever done is help people first

How does James Moshir use red carpet marketing?

James Moshir treats red carpets as a way to make connections beyond the event itself. He said photographs and interviews can circulate online, lead someone to his social profiles and eventually prompt an offer to perform or present. That possibility is why he keeps attending events and posting about his work.

The EZ Way event during Emmys week

Moshir pointed to a Lens of Influence launch hosted by EZ Way during Emmys week in Los Angeles. He said an article about the event on the EZ Way news app had received more than 73,000 views. He also described posting regularly on Instagram and the EZ Way app.

What happens after the carpet

In his view, a red carpet appearance can send viewers from a photograph or video interview to Instagram or LinkedIn, where they might make contact about future work. He cautioned that appearing is not enough: an interview must give people a reason to connect with the person they have just seen.

What did James Moshir say about MMA, boxing and his training?

James Moshir said MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and boxing shape how he thinks about work. He trains in kickboxing and boxing exercises, wants to try jiu-jitsu one day, and admires the consistency fighters bring to conditioning and making weight. He sees that discipline as useful in entertainment, too.

Rocky Balboa and the championship honor

Moshir traced some of his inspiration to Rocky Balboa and to imagining himself in the ring when he was younger. He recalled standing onstage with a trophy and celebrities while cameras faced a large audience for his Muay Thai and kickboxing honor. The scene reminded him of the image he had once aspired to.

He said he watches Conor McGregor and admires Mike Tyson. What he takes from fighters is their willingness to follow a plan through daily training, dietary limits and competition. Moshir argued that a musician or actor can apply the same consistency to a different goal.

His daily exercises

For his own routine, Moshir described hitting a punching bag and pads, jumping rope, and doing push-ups, pull-ups and sit-ups. He said he drinks plenty of water and eats fruits and vegetables because looking after his health helps him sustain his work. He has not started jiu-jitsu but said he would like to.

What advice did James Moshir give about following your dreams?

James Moshir urged people with a goal to act on it instead of waiting for general approval. He said advice from a mentor can be useful, but a prospective fighter, actor or singer does not need to ask everyone around them for permission to begin.

His advice grew out of what he called a sporting mentality: set a goal, make a plan and keep working when the answer is no. He also hoped people who saw his red carpet work or heard him speak would move from thinking about their ambitions to making a decision.

Moshir said he wanted to be remembered for who he was as a person as well as for what he did. That distinction tied his advice about persistence back to his emphasis on helping others.

Who is James Moshir?

James Moshir is an EZ Way Ambassador for Peace and an Ambassador for Peace associated with the Universal Peace Federation and United Nations. He is also a twice-recognized congressional award winner through the United States House of Representatives.

His other listed honors include twice being named a globally top-150 artist-performer at the Yesani 1 International Muay Thai/Kickboxing Championship.
