James Connors was born in Carson City, Nevada in 1981. From a very early age he loved music, learning piano at the age of 7. He didn’t show much of a professional interest in it, however, focusing more on his grades. “I was determined to graduate top 10%,” he laughed. “It didn’t happen.” Throughout high school he usually stayed away from the “popular crowd.” “That wasn’t me. Me and Rob [Schneider], we were two weirdos.”
Upon graduation, he began utilizing his newfound singing talent to make some money while he looked for a steady job. “College was never really an option… I wasn’t too smart and I didn’t have that kind of money.”
Eventually, he met Brian Moseley, reconnected with Rob Schneider, and after they found Justin Clymer, 1080 Pulse was born.

Brian was the kid in school that everyone wanted to be friends with- funny, talented, smart, and loyal. Sure, he spent too much time playing all kinds of weird songs on his guitar, but he was still “that kid.”
In his earlier years, he played guitar profusely, with anyone, for anything. He loved it, although he never though that he would one day find himself in a band. So when he saw James Connors perform live one night, he was stunned- here was someone with the perfect style and the same passion for music. Brian spent the next few months tracking Connors down. When he finally got a contact number, the two met and became great friends right away.
Brian is the one who has expressed the most interest in releasing full length, original albums.

Rob was a lot like James in high school. In fact, the two were good friends. They were both always considered a little strange by their classmates. However, Rob was quieter than James, especially around other people.
Rob has learned how to play bass at a young age and became fairly proficient at it, but he wasn’t ever very serious about music. So when he graduated from high school, he never gave being in a band a second thought.
Because of this, he was extremely surprised to get a call from James asking if he wanted to join a band. Rob was skeptical; he didn’t expect it to get far. But at James’ urging, he came down to check out what was happening. He was pleased with what he saw. Rob agreed to stick around as their bassist and see how things turned out.
Justin Clymer
Age: 18
Born: January 20, 1993
Place of Birth: Helena, Montana, USA
Instruments: Drums, Percussion
Labels: Independent (2011- )
Justin had moved to Las Vegas with his family when he was 16. When he got there, he found himself drowning in a sea of people he didn’t know or understand. So he turned to the one thing he knew best- his drums. Eventually, he became known as something of a prodigy for his energetic, lively style of performance. He traveled the state, playing in shows and competitions, all the while making a name for himself.
His first big chance came along when he was approached by Connors, Schneider, and Moseley. Justin jumped at the chance to work with the slightly older and more experienced musicians, hoping to learn some things from them.
Justin remains the most optimistic and enthusiastic of the group. He cannot wait to play original music for crowds. He is also viewed as the “little brother” of the group.
