Here’s more about James.
* The 20-year-old from Syracuse, Utah, is also one of the Voice contestants who has already released music — in his case a seven-song EP called “404 Not Found” that came out in February.
* That project was released on James’ own “in full bloom” record label. Check out lead track “Bubblegum” below.
* James was born in Phoenix, but his family moved to Syracuse when he was very young. He calls the area where he lives “very untouched.” “There’s a lot of isolation, which is perfect for writing music,” James told The Voice.
* It’s in Utah that James joined his school band, playing clarinet, and eventually learned to play saxophone, ukulele, piano, and guitar as well.
* His early musical influences included Bob Marley, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, Pearl Jam and would eventually grow to include a broader range of genres and more current artists.
* He posted his first cover to Twitter in 2015, marking his official start as a singer. Today he has more than 2,700 subscribers on his YouTube channel.
* James graduated from high school in 2017. Two weeks later, he moved to L.A., covering expenses by busking on the Santa Monica Pier.
* He eventually moved back home to complete the aforementioned EP. But he said he jumped at the chance to return to L.A. via The Voice to prove himself as a musician.
* According to his Voice bio, James is studying business marketing and works as a supervisor at a warehouse retail chain.
