He realized he could seek a career as a musician at age six when he watched a local musician play covers at a family function, and began playing the guitar at age sixteen when he was gifted one for Christmas. His friend was the frontman for the local band Fire Mountain and told him that he could begin opening for them if he started performing original songs. At that point, he began writing his own music. At the age of 21, James moved to Birmingham, Alabama to pursue music professionally. It was here that he met Adrian Marmolejo and formed their band, Early James and the Latest. Drawing inspiration from Birmingham's diverse music scene, James began to cultivate a sound containing elements of blues, folk, rock, and classic country. Rising Sun Presents This is a 21+ event
