James Gomez
Born and raised in Brooklyn, 21 year old James Gomez was scouted whilst busking on the streets of his hometown and signed a record deal with label School Boy Records. James has always had humble beginnings, living with his grandparents up till the age of 18 as his parents couldn't care for him.
'My gran and gramps did everything they could for me but I still didn't have all the fancy stuff the other kids had, music was my only escape'. James began learning to play guitar after starting middle school and soon realized his passion for music through a combination of playing the guitar and song writing.
His first gig was at a local jazz bar not too far from his home aged just 15, where he performed one of his earliest written songs 'My Town'.Now James has found fame with hit 'Happy' the sky is the limit for this new star.
Gomez feels that with the help of music he can help restore peace starting with his home town of Brooklyn. With the help of his youth initiative 'Vibez' he can use music to get the upcoming youth of today off the streets and using that energy to learn new instruments and new skills.
