From the moment James Kennedy takes his first shot of tequila in his "Don't Look Downwardly" music video, it's articulate that the Vanderpump Rules DJ is trying to make a statement. The visual doesn't just requite fans an within look at a mean solar day in the life of the SURver/musician, it too gives a glimpse into his creative vision. "I wanted to create something that was super indie, something that looked different and somewhat abstract," James told The Daily Dish exclusively via email. "I'thousand letting people come up up with the 'storyline' because I wanted things to be unlike. The paint at the terminate was an abstract take on emotion and how people never want to look 'messy;' it was swell fun to film."

James highlighted the video'southward key scenes, including that showtime shot of him downing tequila. Then, does he ofttimes beginning his day with something that hard? "Haha no! It'due south just a lilliputian pilus of the dog if you will," he said, adding that he wanted to "brand the get-go to the day as rockstar every bit possible."

For the SURver, the garden scene ties into what he believes to be the virtually legendary scene in the video: James being splattered with the paint and confetti. "Well I wanted to seem lost in a earth of confusion, collect my thoughts every bit the music built up again. The garden scene was shot as ane of my favorite places I've ever been, The Greystone Mansion, and the paint scene was actually blue glitter mixed with blue paint, we were in the alley behind my apartment," he said of the L.A.-prepare shoot. "The blue paint represents emotions and how the average person is scared to exist themselves, await messy, and exercise something weird. I wanted to brand something of art; something nobody has seen before. Sounds of the music behind the footage create, pure madness."

While much of the video includes James going solo, he does come across upward with Max Vanderpump-Todd throughout. "Well Max is my best friend and we do everything together," he said. "Likewise, he is featured on my album PUMP Sessions, that I wrote and produced myself which will be coming out this month. Max is featured on a couple songs on the album 'Yous Can't Wait' and 'Sevii.' Our group together is called Lifeguard. We have a lot of fun making music together."

And, yes, James is already thinking about his next video for the song "You lot Can't Wait." "It'southward going to be something by the beach and the body of water, maybe playing live on the back of a semi-truck heading due south on [the Pacific Coast Highway], perhaps end[ing] at sunset bonfire beach party!" he teased. "The possibilities are endless and I am on a mission to ever make my next video more than outrageous than the terminal."Despite the album title, Pump Sessions isn't solely focused on Lisa Vanderpump's establishments or famous caprine animal cheese balls. " The Pump Sessions  anthology is a compilation featuring these two songs and many more," James explained. "My primary inspiration of the album was the ocean and the deep wasters planet World has to offer."

Before this season, James revealed how he got his start in the music business during a visit to theVanderpump Rules Later Testify. Check it out, below.
