James hails from the small town of Bullhead City, Arizona, where he discovered his passion for music and live performance. He then put himself through business school at the Barrett Honors College of Arizona State University by performing in a variety of regional productions. Soon after, his voice brought him to the music capitol of the world, Nashville, Tennessee, to produce his debut album with DW Music at Warner Brothers Studios, featuring a 53-piece orchestra and full supporting choir. The solo classical crossover album, So In Love (2017), hit the Top 10 on the iTunes Classical Chart for the full week of its release. James most recently played Fabrizio in New York City Center Encores’ critically-acclaimed production of The Light in the Piazza shortly after making his Broadway debut as Fiyero in Wicked.
