Picking up the sax at age 10 in his native New Rochelle, New York, James immediately loved it, and it pretty quickly became his favorite thing to do. By the time he entered his teens, he was gigging with bands and turned pro at 19. He apprenticed as a sideman for artists like Morris Day, The Isley Brothers, Teena Marie, and many others, touring and doing sessions for seven years before cutting his first solo album in 1992. The independently released Trust led immediately to a major label deal and a string of increasingly successful recordings and nonstop touring.


Now a four-time Grammy nominee with four RIAA Gold records and career sales topping three million units, James continues to defy musical genres; A two time NAACP Award nominee, a Soul Train Award winner, and named one of the Top 3 Billboard Contemporary Jazz Artists of the Decade.
