Hailing from Dublin, Ireland is 21 year-old Gavin James, a fresh new face taking the singer-songwriter scene by storm. Having spent the last three years honing his performance skills in live residences in Dublin, Gavin James unveiled his debut number 1 EP 'Say Hello' to Ireland through Believe Recordings in November of last year. The title-track of the aforementioned EP recently won the Choice Meteor Awards 'Song of Year Award' for 2012, beating popular names such as The Script, Villagers and Kodaline to the number 1 spot.
With successful sold-out headline shows in Ireland already under his belt, Gavin James has also performed alongside Ingrid Michaelson on her UK tour, and familiar names such as Lewis Watson and Lianne La Havas amongst others. Currently finishing up a tour with Kodaline, and due to support Tom Odell in the summer, we’d say the future’s looking very bright for this this flame-haired songster. Check out his latest acoustic single 'Carolina'. Gavin James makes full of use of his faultless, soft yet sometimes surprisingly gravelly vocals which, combined with his poignantly mature songwriting skills has got us excited for the UK release of his EP, and the debut album which will follow later on in the year.
