A smooth-falsettoed singing songwriter from Ireland, Gavin James began
playing the guitar at age eight and performing live regularly in his
late teens. His first release, the EP Say Hello, was an Internet hit in
his homeland in 2012, and the charting title track won Song of the Year
from Meteor Choice Music Prize. In 2014, he signed with Capitol Records
and released a full-length live album, Live at Whelans, which featured
James performing solo with only an acoustic guitar. It charted in the
Netherlands and Ireland, where it hit the Top 20. In the spring of 2015,
he appeared on U.S. television's Dancing with the Stars and released a
four-track EP titled For You. Later that year, he was invited to open
for chart-toppers Ed Sheeran and Sam Smith on their respective tours,
and released singles including "Bitter Pill" from his full-length studio
debut of the same name. Essentially a studio version of Live at Whelans
with just two new songs, Bitter Pill was released in March of 2016. In
early 2017 a remix by Spanish house DJ Danny Avila of James' track "I
Don't Know Why" was released and became a charting hit in Ireland.
