Australian country music star, James Johnston, joins us on this episode of The Adamantium Podcast. We discuss his record breaking, certified ARIA platinum single, “Raised Like That,” and chart topping debut album of the same name. We also talk about his lifelong journey as a musician, what it’s like to strike gold and the pressure of following it up, his time on Australian Idol and X Factor, performing at South Africa’s first ever major country music festival, and collaborating with Afrikans artist Appel, his new single “Blame,” and his first experience visiting Canada.
