Jarryd James is a singer-songwriter and producer from Brisbane, Australia.

He released his debut single “Do You Remember” on 30 January 2015. James and producer Joel Little wrote Do You Remember earlier that year in an apartment the Kiwi was renting while he looked for a longer-term base in LA.

In an interview with The West Australian he told that classic singers and songwriters including Harry Nilsson, the Beatles, the Eagles, Stevie Wonder and the Doobie Brothers were his soundtrack growing up, while “everyone else was listening to Nirvana and Metallica”.

While classically trained on the trumpet and proficient on guitar and piano, shyness held him back from singing until he was 20. “I was so shy. It took me a while to get the courage to sing in front of anyone. When I started singing, then I started writing as well.”
