Jose James

Minneapolis-born vocalist José James has been giving audiences eclectic and seductive melodies for over a decade. James blends elements of jazz, R&B and hip-hop to create distinctive sounds that make his work unique.

The Los Angeles Times described him as follows, "James [is a] hybridizer of genres, capable of appealing to b-boys and jazz purists alike.... a unique and winning figure in contemporary American music. Not just unique, but magnetic."
During his career, James has released seven albums that have earned him accolades from critics and audiences worldwide. James has performed on prestigious stages around the world, including New York's Central Park Summerstage, Washington's Kennedy Center, London's Royal Festival Hall and Billboard Live Tokyo, to name a few.

With his last album, Lean On Me (2018), José James pays tribute to one of his personal heroes, Bill Withers, and aims to unite listeners and support the voices and stories of others through Withers' brilliant repertoire.
