Justin James

Justin James was born in the wintry month of January on the 16th day. Who would have thought such a talent would come from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Proving that talent knows know zip code, he found himself singing at the age of six. He quickly gravitated to popular, self-made artist like Keith Sweat and icons Michael Jackson and R. Kelly. “These were singers that my father would play around the house when I was growing up” says James.

He began to explore rap because of the opportunity to be creative and vocal. James felt that “…there were so many things I could do with the rap that I couldn't do with singing”. At that age, finding acceptance of the ladies wasn't enough. James wanted to gain the approval by putting his purpose in his music and having audiences respond to it. 

In the same year, Losing his older brother to a car accident, and then his father to kidney failure found him spiraling into a life of crime. It was the birth of his daughter that found him with a new purpose. Her mother removed him from her life by moving her to Brazil when she was barely six months old. Finding himself alone, without his brother, father and daughter, this time he turned back to music. It became his therapy. Through music, he could express himself, release his aggression, and once again find the acceptance he long for. He re-purposed his negative energy, into what is now the start of a promising career. One he hopes will reunite him with his daughter.

His debut single “Tell Me You Love Me” impact radio and video outlets April 2, 2015. The EP “Now or Never” became available July 14, 2015
