Michael James is a rising star in the country music scene. Growing up near the beach on the south shore of Long Island, his love for country music was sparked when he attended a Kenny Chesney concert with his father at the age of 13. From that moment on, Michael knew that music was his true calling. Soon after, his athletic background playing football and basketball came to an end due to multiple concussions. However, it was country music that helped him find himself again. Determined to pursue his passion for music, Michael saved up money from part-time jobs and bought a guitar at the age of 19, teaching himself how to play through YouTube tutorials. Since then, Michael has opened up for country acts like LOCASH, Restless Road and Carolyn Miller. His natural ability to connect with his audience is undeniable, and his music tells his own stories in a way that is relatable to everyone who listens. His love for Jesus is a significant factor that inspires him to create music that uplifts and encourages his listeners. Keep your eyes on this rising star as his journey to the top is just beginning.

You can find Michael wherever you listen to music, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram @itsmichaeljames
