"You Are" is the focus track from Jeffrey James' EP, East London.
The 'East London' EP, set for release on February 28th, was birthed during a month-long songwriting trip to London in early 2019. James worked with legendary engineer Geoff Swan (Charli XCX, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay) and producers Jackson Dimiglio-Wood (Shawn Mendes), Dan Weller (SikTh), and Dan McDougal (Liam Gallagher) to create a uniquely cross-Atlantic record that draws on James’ Nashville influences and combines them with the blue-eyed soul sounds that have been dominating the UK charts.
Jeffrey James is a singer and songwriter based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Pairing rich vocals, R&B stylings and reflective lyricism, James creates svelte, brooding tracks that provide deep introspection on the human experience.
Nashville-based, Indiana-born James first developed a love of melodies from his great-uncle who wrote the renowned Hal Leonard Guitar Method book. Immersed in music from a young age, James participated in a range of musical outlets, from family car singalongs to school choirs, eventually forming a high school garage band and falling in love with the art of songwriting.
Over the past few years, James' soul-infused sound has been paving the way for Nashville’s pop scene, leading to opening slots for acts such as X-Ambassadors, Rachel Platten and Hanson, as well as festival performances at Firefly, Bonnaroo, and Forecastle. Alongside his own captivating releases — his Billboard-approved single “Saltwater,” his 2016 album Walls and his 2017 EP Unsaid —James has proved himself a versatile songwriter, collaborating with an array of acts like Megan Davies, Tungeaag & Raaban and LU2VYK. His music has also been placed on a number of TV shows such as Amazon Prime’s Jack Ryan, CBS’s The Red Line and Criminal Minds, CW’s All American, and Showtime’s Shameless.
