About James McCarthy
Artist Biography
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember listening to Stevie Wonder on the radio in the backseat of my parents car, just being so enamored by it. I feel like it was the first time I ever connected to a song and felt genuine joy from it.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dave Matthews Band, Before These Crowded Streets John Mayer, Room for Squares Stevie Wonder, Songs in the Key of Life These three albums were the first I could remember growing up that just made me obsessed with music. Their sounds, messages, stories just made me feel like I was in that world, and I truly became passionate on creating my own just like them.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “I Will Be Mine” This song is special to me because it was one of the first songs I ever wrote. It's imperfect, has things I would do differently now, but it's exactly right for the time and I wrote it and learning how to songwrite and record. I love listening to it.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? My most memorable moment so far is playing a gig in Boston that was a random Tuesday night, and all of my family and friends being there. Them coming out to see me still trying to figure things out meant so much and pushed me to be the best I can be.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? The item on my bucket list that I dream to see is seeing someone in the crowd mouth any original lyrics of mine. Someone connecting and remembering the lyrics or story that I created is just why I do it, the ultimate and dream goal.
