If you’ve been to a Kodaline, John Newman and Tom Odell gig in the last year you may have caught this young man just before he goes WHOOOSH!

James is  gearing up for the release of his debut single, the impressively infectious ‘Hold Back The River’. The lead and title track from James’s third EP received its first play as Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record and was also made the show’s Single of The Week, a rare occurrence for any artist and one that firmly cements Bay’s fast growing reputation as one of the most exciting young talents around.

For fans of: Jake Bugg:  Ben Howard and  Ray Lamontagne
