Singer-songwriter Stephen James displays extraordinary range and depth. His pensive, haunting lyrics have been described as disarmingly meaningful. Though his music is innovative, the songs remain grounded in messages of love, compassion, and understanding.
Raised in the small town of Georgetown, Massachusetts, James used music as an escape from suburbia’s limitations. The artist dreamed of moving to a bigger city where he could explore his art and express his ideas alongside other emerging creatives.
Four years ago, he moved to New York City. As fate would have it, the aspiring artist’s life would change after finding an iPad in Central Park. In this day and age, doing what is right doesn’t always align with the trending topics of the day. The uncommon choice to exhaust all efforts and return the iPad not only surprised the iPad owner, but impressed him so much that he decided to introduce him to close friend and music producer Karhi Wood. Wood has produced music for French Montana and rapper Chinx, who was murdered. After suffering that loss, Wood had contemplated a career change. The quirky singer’s off-beat personality encouraged Woods set a new tempo for his approach to life. The unlikely pair began to collaborate on various music projects.

The singer draws passion directly from the energy of his audience. He has consistently sold out Manhattan’s hottest venues, displaying an unparalleled stage presence during live shows that leaves fans wanting more.
