Hailing from a small, often overlooked town, famous for its Nori bricks, pies and a football themed milk advert.

Johnjames is shaped by both his local industrial landscape, moors, coastlines, and the relentless exploration of faith and life.

Inspired by the emotional intensity of post-punk and the reflective nature of folk music, Johnjames has carved out a niche with his unique sound, offering a fresh and meaningful take on both genres, combining acoustic guitar, with melancholy vocals and raw energy, crafting songs that are simplistic yet adventurous.
