Born and raised in Glasgow’s East End, Lee James is an emerging Scottish songwriter blending raw honesty with infectious melody. Shaped by early loss, personal challenges, and the highs and lows of love and life, he turns life’s hardest moments into songs that resonate. His music is deeply personal yet universally relatable — real stories wrapped in melody. Tracks like “Better Man Than Me” balance wit and heartbreak, “Tell Me Tonight” pleads for connection, “Bottle Up” reveals quiet resilience, and “Decline of the Arc” delivers cinematic emotion. Grounded in Glasgow grit but reaching far beyond, Lee James is a reflective voice in the next wave of Scottish songwriting. Influences: Bon Iver, Paolo Nutini, Gregory Alan Isakov, 2Pac, Damien Rice, Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Paul Weller, Oasis, Lewis Capaldi, Chris Stapleton, Noah Kahan, Mark Wilkinson, James Morrison.
