Within a few months of being in the group, they started getting placements on MTV reality shows with their singles "Bones" and "My Love." James then left the band 7 months later to work on finding his own sound."I was heavily influenced by the 90's era. I pulled inspiration from artists like U2, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, The Smashing Pumpkins, Portishead, Massive Attack, NIN, Zero 7, Slowdive and The Deftones. I wanted to create something different, something people could identify quickly, but also wanted to write what made ME feel good inside."After writing and producing behind the scenes for numerous big pop artists over the years, James is now getting ready to release his first solo tracks and has been hitting the road to play shows for his rapidly growing fan base. Armed with the ability to sing live and DJ, James has already wowed crowds at venues such as Ruby Skye (SF), Social (Sac), Supperclub and Blok (LA), Voyuer & Wavehouse (SD), The Yost Theater (OC) and Push Ultra Lounge (Tampa.) A perfect blend between the worlds of pop and electronic dance music, the music and voice of Chris James will soon impress themselves in the ears of listeners all over the world.Listen song here:YouTube
