3 He Doesn't Love Just Country

He no doubt likes to show off his country twang, but James wants to branch out as an artist. "Not so long ago," the handsome man told Harding University, "I found myself working for a producer who made all kinds of music from all different genres — and loved it. This has been my motivation to record and produce others, as well as diversify my own music all the way from country to R&B."
