About Me

with humble upbringings in a struggling working class family, becoming something other than ordinary was neither celebrated nor encouraged. aiden refused to accept that and fled to philadelphia where he began experiencing the culture of urban life, not to mention the local music scene.living in downtown philadelphia for the past 6 years, this young man is making great strides for a self taught musician. he independently released his debut album “have you ever” in july 2006, exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and personal struggle. audiences took notice, and so did club owners.now with an impressive tour under his belt stretching from boston to dallas, his NEW album "on the run" is set for release this spring 2008. a voice that’s quietly powerful and strongly captivating, aiden james is not only finding a place in our hearts... he’s on the run with them.click image below for online purchase
