"Bobby James was not born to follow instructions. Charismatic, quirky and honest, his songs become more like musical diary entries of a lifestyle he has made his own. Amongst the parties, girls, potions and poisons, Bobby James sends a message that resonates with people of any age and from any lifestyle – “I shouldn’t be having this much fun, but I amâ€
Never one to enjoy working for someone else, Bobby James was quick to establish himself outside of the traditional gates into the music industry. In a time when labels are prepared to make almost shameless cash grabs in order to cover the costs of falling record sales, Bobby presents an almost radical idea – that music is not something that you can own.
Bobby proudly attests to his songs being a kind of public property, a tool used to bring people together, rather than a product that will make him money. Indeed, overcharging fans to enjoy the music they love is not the way in this modern world, and Bobby has worked tirelessly to make his music available and accessible to everyone.
The true magic of Bobby James however is something that has to be not only seen, but felt. From an impromptu set aboard the last train out of Melbourne city on a Friday night to a jam session aboard a yacht in Sydney Harbour, Bobby inspires people to throw aside their inhibitions and sing along, proud and passionate, he creates a connection between the most distant of people, and is winning more and more friends wit every journey.
Bobby’s message of love, freedom and challenging the rules is far from a new one, but it is one that has the power to still be heard well after the songs of violence and sadness have faded. Confident without being arrogant, honest without any reservation, and full of love, fun and flair, Bobby James is carving his own path to the top, and everyone is welcome."
bless ya!
