James Moshir Ram At The Fights interview on his Grammy ballot

The James Moshir Ram At The Fights interview centered on a distinction he wanted to make clear: his song is on a first-round ballot for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards, but he is not a Grammy nominee. Moshir also discussed the four songs he says he wrote for the upcoming film Charlie Buster and why he wants to play James Bond.

What did James Moshir say about the 2027 Grammy Awards first-round ballot?

James Moshir said he learned shortly after his previous conversation with Ram At The Fights that his DM Punch song, I’ma Just Do It, was on a first-round ballot for consideration in Best Rap Performance. He described feeling overjoyed but composed. He was confident about a future nomination, while acknowledging that voting members would decide what happened next.

Moshir recalled that the news arrived so soon after the pair last spoke that he initially described it as happening moments later. When Ram asked for his reaction, Moshir said he tried to remain calm rather than get swept up in the announcement. He compared the mood he wanted to a relaxed Don Johnson scene in Miami.

Ram initially referred to the song as nominated, and Moshir corrected him: it was a for-your-consideration ballot entry. Moshir predicted that he would become a nominee, but he did not report that a Grammy nomination or award had been announced.

He connected his confidence to a broader belief in stating his goals aloud and continuing to work toward them. That approach, he said, also shapes how he presents himself in public and promotes his music online.

What did James Moshir say about writing I’ma Just Do It?

James Moshir said he writes all his own songs because he wants the lyrics to tell his own story. He described I’ma Just Do It as a song about acting on an ambition instead of only talking about it, a message he also applies to his music, speaking and film goals.

When Ram asked whether other people help write the songs, Moshir answered that he writes them himself. For him, authorship matters because the words are meant to come directly from his experiences rather than from someone interpreting them for him.

He said listeners could find I’ma Just Do It on Apple Music, Spotify and iHeartRadio. He also spoke about a planned move toward pop music, distinguishing that next direction from the rap performance category in which he said the current song was being considered.

Moshir gave Ram a concise version of the principle behind the song:

anything you wanna do in your life, you just get up and you just do it.

Where has James Moshir performed live?

James Moshir said he has performed at boxing matches, mental health events, award shows, charity toy drives at Dodger Stadium, summer concerts and awards-season gifting suites. He described live appearances and regular social media posts as parts of the same effort to keep his music in front of listeners and award voters.

Boxing matches and mental health events

A boxing fan, Moshir told Ram he had performed at multiple boxing matches. He also named the Monique Woolley Foundation and mental health summits among his charity and speaking-related appearances. His account extended to presenting and taking part in panels, not just performing songs.

Dodger Stadium and awards-season appearances

Other events he listed included holiday toy drives at Dodger Stadium, the Halo Awards, National Parents Day, summer concerts and brand gifting suites. He said he shares material from performances and awards appearances online as he works on his next musical direction.

What did James Moshir say about the Charlie Buster soundtrack?

James Moshir said he contributed four songs to the soundtrack of the upcoming film Charlie Buster and considers himself one of its principal songwriters. He also said he was nominated for Best Male Model at the World Entertainment Awards. His hopes for film soundtrack awards were predictions, not nominations he said had already been announced.

Four songs for Charlie Buster

Moshir described Charlie Buster as a film featuring Michael Madsen, whom he identified with Reservoir Dogs. He said writing four soundtrack songs gave him a substantial role in the project and spoke enthusiastically about the possibility of future work on films.

He anticipated recognition for the soundtrack during awards season, naming the Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards, Academy Awards and Grammy Awards among the honors he hoped to pursue. Those remarks expressed his expectations; he did not say the soundtrack had received those nominations.

The World Entertainment Awards nomination

Separately, Moshir said his World Entertainment Awards nomination was for Best Male Model. He expected that event to take place the day before the Grammy Awards and described the two occasions as an important stretch for him. He also recalled a top-five nomination for I’ma Just Do It at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards.

What did James Moshir say about playing James Bond?

James Moshir said he wants to play James Bond and believes his tailored clothes, appearance and ability to perform a British accent suit the role. He did not say he had been cast. His interest came up while discussing movies, including the horror film Obsession, and his longer-term ambition to act in major productions.

His favorite Bond films

Moshir named The World Is Not Enough as his favorite James Bond film. He also praised Daniel Craig in Skyfall and mentioned a Sean Connery film. Describing the part he hopes to play, he pictured a Bond in a suit, driving an Aston Martin and handling action scenes.

He demonstrated a British accent for Ram and returned to the idea that his clothes and manner help people remember him. Those were Moshir’s reasons for seeing himself in the role, rather than news of an audition or casting decision.

Movies beyond Bond

Before turning to Bond, Moshir said he had recently watched Obsession. He then explained that he wants to build his music and motivational speaking to a level that helps him enter bigger films. His comments tied the acting ambition to work he is already doing, including the Charlie Buster songs.

What did James Moshir say about charity events and social media?

James Moshir said a Christmas charity toy drive was scheduled for November 13, though he did not give its year. He also argued that public figures should be prepared to meet people unexpectedly and that artists need an active online presence. He offered Ram practical advice about finding acting opportunities.

The toy drive and a meeting in Santa Monica

Discussing why he dresses carefully even on ordinary outings, Moshir recalled walking along Wilshire Boulevard in Santa Monica when several people asked him for selfies. He said they recognized his videos. Being photographed or filmed without warning, he explained, is one reason he tries to look prepared whenever he goes out.

After Ram raised an upcoming toy drive, Moshir confirmed the November 13 date. The conversation did not establish a venue or year for that event.

Online promotion and advice for Ram

Moshir urged people working in entertainment to use social media rather than neglect it. He said posting interviews, performances and music gives audiences a way to find his work, and he connected that visibility to his Grammy campaign.

When Ram mentioned an interest in appearing on screen, Moshir recommended creating an Actors Access profile with headshots and personal details to look for roles. Ram also told Moshir he was in an iHeartRadio top-host contest; Moshir congratulated him and asked for the voting link.
