After a 4-year drought of long-awaited new music, and 10-year hiatus of live performance, James has hit the ground running with passion and purpose. After successfully relaunching his Gift of Music Concert in 2025 and debuting some of his original works, James is set to release his first professional single as a vocalist, “Rely On You”. This soul-stirring song addresses themes of isolation, friendship and the need for meaningful human connection.

The song is set to release in late September, intentionally coinciding with Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, when communities bring increased attention to suicide prevention, mental health and reaching people who may be struggling.
