Interview: Jim Vierra
Jim Vierra, the visionary President of Fifty Something Records, has released 'Just One Touch,' an inspiring anthem featuring the extraordinary talents of GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Ron Poindexter. Louder Than The Music spoke with Jim to find out the personal connection to the song's uplifting message.
For those who haven't heard of you before, can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got involved in making music?
I have been writing and playing for almost 40 years, I thank my mother for the important role music has played in my life.
Tell us about your new single 'Just One Touch' and what the inspiration behind it was?
I know that all of us need a touch from the Lord, it could be physical, financial, spiritual, emotional. I wrote this song founded on this statement. I have very close friends that have been diagnosed with cancer and I watch the heartache that they experience. Even as Christians it’s hard to deal with these types of issues. Just knowing that all we need is that one touch from the Lord.
Do you have any plans to release more music in the near future?
We currently are in the studio working on a new single called Lift Me Up!
What message would you like people to take from your music?
It does not matter what walk of life you come from what matters is your relationship with God and know that he is always there!
How would you describe your style of music and what are your influences?
I love Gospel, Smooth Jazz, I am a huge Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond
If you could work with any singer or songwriter, who would it be and why?
Fred Hammond
