Chart-topping singer, songwriter and guitarist Coby James writes, produces and performs all of his own music, assembling relatable moments that are packaged in vibrant sonics and carefully curated from a wide range of artistic influences. As a TigerBeat-featured musician, he is drawn to unorthodox modern pop beats that have already notched a No. 1 song as a contributing writer on Courtnie Ramirez’s track, “Who We Are,” along with his own Top 5 hit “Born Ready.”

On his first AC single, “Brand New,” James shares a brash statement of belief alongside his smooth falsetto that slides effortlessly over a sonic landscape with bright horns, celebratory gang vocals and an unmistakable R&B groove.
