James Bay, 22, is from Hitchin, UK. He brings his twist to the music of his heroes Carole King, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Jackson Browne and James Taylor.
NoiseTrade: Your first single “Move Together” seems to either be an intensely personal story or a fantastically deceptive work of fiction. Did you write it to be creative or cathartic?
James Bay: My best songs are always the most honest ones. I try and stick to things that are going on in my life; all the feelings and emotions that I really need to express. So yeh, I definitely had something to get off my chest when I wrote “Move Together.”
Bay’s 2013 debut album: The Dark of the Morning.

Thanks Todd…
Yep. Going on my list.
Thank goodness. When I miss, it forces me to double down. 🙂
Wonderful voice! 🙂 He comes from a place very near where I grew up, how bizarre is that! But of course he wouldn’t have even been born then! 😀 Thank you for letting me know!
Amazing coincidence. In your back yard and great. Must have been your halo.
