James the Seventh is a self-taught musician, singer, songwriter, and producer from the Philadelphia area. In January 2021, she stepped into the music scene by releasing her first single, "You Don't Know Me". She used to be a full time pre-professional ballet dancer until she got injured and had to undergo surgery in 2020, and had to give it up. During the months she couldn't walk, her dad (a sixth in a line of James), bought her a guitar, which led her into singing, songwriting, and producing. After discovering her passion for music, she continued to write, produce, and release music throughout 2021 with singles "Turn a Blind Eye", "Wouldn't It Be Nice to Not Care Too?", "Double Edged Sword", "When the Night Begins to Fall", and in 2022 singles "The Moon", "Future Memories", and "Up There". In 2023, James released singles "She Hates You," and "Just Let Me Cry," garnering the attention of Ones To Watch, naming her as an artist to watch this year, and being placed on Spotify editorial playlists, New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Pop, and young & free. James the Seventh's sound can be described as harmony rich Alternative Pop, but her sound is constantly evolving. Read more on Last.fm.
