James Morrison Profile
James Morrison is a BRIT award-winning singer-songwriter and guitarist from England who became an overnight sensation as the biggest-selling British male solo artist the year with the release of his debut album in 2006, Undiscovered, when he was just 21 years of age. Often hailed as one of the finest white soul singers with comparisons to Stevie Wonder and Paul Young, Morrison marked his coming of age as an artist with his third album, The Awakening in September 2011.
With three years in the making, The Awakening is a warm, live-sounding collection of classic but contemporary folk-soul songs that features an amazing collaboration with Jessie J on the track “Up”. Produced by Bernard Butler, it follows the huge global success of his previous two albums, Undiscovered (2006) and Songs for You, Truths for Me (2008). Together, both albums have sold more than 4.5 million copies worldwide and turned Morrison into an international star with singles including You Give Me Something, Wonderful World, The Pieces Don’t Fit Anymore and the global smash Broken Strings, featuring Nelly Furtado.
Morrison has sold out arena tours, gigged coast-to-coast in America as well as in Australia, Japan and across Europe; he has performed on Jimmy Kimmel’s and Jay Leno’s TV shows in the States; sung in front of tens of thousands at London’s Hyde Park supporting both Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder and appeared on Herbie Hancock’s Grammy-winning album The Imagination Project.
