A native of San Francisco, James started singing at the early age of four while sitting on a church pew as his sister (15) sang in the choir. Growing up his musical influences include the incomparable Donny Hathaway, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Frank Sinatra, Sam Cooke, Smokey Robinson, Tony Bennett and Luther Vandross. He also paid close attention to the likes of Sarah Vaughn's smooth riffs, Minnie Ripperton’s simplicity of painting a picture while Aretha Franklin just simply revived souls.
