About Me

You know that old saying ‘you can take the boy out of the country but you can’t take the country out of the boy’? Well it rings true in more ways than one for Country music singer and songwriter Peter James. James grew up in the small towns of Maple Ridge and Mission, BC surrounded by mountains, lakes and streams. James filled his days with good old-fashioned backcountry fun, helping his dad around the farm and playing music. His first musical influences were the Statler Brothers, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan and The Everly Brothers from his parents’ record collection and by his teens he was listening to Sting, Bobby Brown, and AC/DC. He grew to appreciate all kinds of music and spent hours studying melodies, harmonies, production and vocals. Little did he know that his passion for music would take him all around the world and back again.
