 James Gilbert starting his singing career in 1974 performing in his grammar school talent show, James been a singing my whole life. James says that his vocal ability is a family trait, as his Mom & Dad both love to sing. James is a self thought musician, learning lead guitar, bass & drums and to avoid trouble as a teenager. Blues music was a staple in our household in his early years as I studied the mechanics of the Blues, which played out when he was 17, as he was fortunate enough to share the stage with Blues Legend John Lee Hooker. From then on performing has been James Gilbert's way of life.

After bouncing around the country as a member of a Top40 Rock and RnB band in the early 1980's, James decided to return home to expand on his own versatility.

That same year, his new band got noticed and was selected to perform as actors for the Toyota Corporations Big Spring Sale TV commercial.
