About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Matt James is the latest soul sensation to come out of the “heart” of New York City., His soulful pop rock sound is invigorating, inviting and meaningful. Just listen to “New Yorker” a catchy pop tune Matt penned for his beloved New York hometown. It has all the ingredients for a hit song! While performing his song “I Believe” at a New York workshop, award wining songwriter, producer and artist Gordon Chambers admitted “ Now that’s an excellent hook for a song” and encouraged Matt to pursue his singing and songwriting career.Presently, Matt James is completing his debut album “Spirit of the Music” at Broken Land Studios with extremely talented producer and multi instrumentalist Alex Perez who is also the front man for the band Plaza Toros. “Working with Matt James has been a wonderful experience for me, Matt’s music is very catchy and it has great soul and meaning” says Alex. It was really exciting to watch the crowd chant “I’m a New Yorker” at a Matt James performance at the Groove Lounge in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village.Performing with Matt James are drummers Eddie Martinez and Peter Sacristan, saxophonist Lawrence Ramsey, bassist and visionary Carl Dennis who gives the music a true groove and producer and guitarist Alex Perez who brings a third dimension to each song. Lead vocalist and keyboardist Matt James is happy to write music that will inspire spirits and souls throughout the world. Stay Tuned!
