MEET:
James Wimbley
HI FROM NASHVILLE
James Wimbley is a 14-year-old musician, singer-songwriter, and performer based in Nashville, whose passion for music began at an early age. Influenced by artists like Michael Jackson, Alicia Keys, and Frank Ocean, James began singing at just 2 years old, picked up the piano at 8, and by 10, was writing original songs and playing guitar. His music blends R&B and pop into a style that’s all his own—earning praise from notable names including Lady Gaga, Tina Knowles, Demi Lovato, Reese Witherspoon, Viola Davis, Teddy Swims, Queen, and more.
In early 2025, James began releasing original music, showcasing his signature R&B-infused pop sound, heartfelt lyrics, and powerful vocals. He made his national television debut on The Tamron Hall Show, performing his moving debut single, “I’m Enough,” a personal anthem inspired by his experiences with bullying and feeling like an outsider. His follow-up single, “Right In My Heart,” offers a more upbeat take on young love and expressing your feelings to a crush.
With more original music on the way, James Wimbley is a rising artist to watch.
