JAMES MORRISON: SINGER/SONGWRITER


James Morrison Catchpole, is a BRIT Award winning recording artist from Rugby Warwickshire, England. He released his 3rd album out September 2011 THE AWAKENING . The soul, adult contemporary pop album has substance and many facets layered within.

You may be familiar with his track with Nelly Furtado “Broken Strings’ which had success in the US.  He also has made guest appearances on the Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmels shows.  Primarily his recognition has been Europe, Australia, Japan and
New Zealand.

Morrison states his first 2 albums were practice. THE AWAKING is the realization that he is not just the former 'van’ washer, his music is viable and pertinent. He has grown as a person and a musician. He recently lost his dad, and became a father, and  has grown-up with his music, and it shows in this album. The self taught musician gained his experience busking, and open mic-nite in local pubs. His life experiences have formed a humble, thoughtful musician, who has given us a meaningful album.

A few notable tracks: "Up” (feat. Jessie J.) is uplifting and sure to be a pop hit, with powerful vocals. “Slave To the Music” another pop song, sure to make the charts. “Person I Should Have Been” soulful, powerful phrasing, reggae rhythm, “Right By Your Side” meaningful, showcase Morrison vocal range.
