James Abrahart, who operates under the nom de plume Jhart, is a Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum selling British singer, songwriter, record producer, and arranger who has found success in a wide array of genres, including pop, country, R&B, house, and hip-hop. Based out of Los Angeles, Abrahart has penned and co-written hits for a diverse group of artists like Usher, Chris Brown, Little Mix, Jason Derulo, Fifth Harmony, Keith Urban, Trey Songz, and Justin Bieber. In addition to his numerous production and songwriting credits, Abrahart has found fame as both a featured and solo artist, appearing on singles by Kygo, Paul Oakenfold, Ghosted, and Dirty South, and stepping out on his own with 2018's Vol. 1: Songs from Therapy.

Born in Essex, U.K. and raised in Brentwood, California and Atlanta, Georgia, Abrahart spent his formative years singing in the gospel choir and soaking in the sounds of Usher, Kirk Franklin, and J Moss. A 2008 internship with producer, songwriter, and rapper Jamal Fincher Jones, better known as Polow da Don, led to a professional breakthrough in 2009 with the release of Priscilla Renea's Jukebox, which featured the Abrahart-penned single "Pretty Girl." 2011 proved to be an even bigger year, with projects for Flo Rida, Wynter Gordon, and Karmin, and in 2012, at the age of 22, Abrahart relocated to Los Angeles and earned acclaim for the single "Take You," his contribution to Justin Bieber's Grammy-nominated third studio album Believe. That same year saw Abrahart make his feature debut (under the Jhart moniker) on Paul Oakenfold's dance hit "Surrender." Having established himself as a major player in the West Coast pop scene, the busy Abrahart began knocking out a slew of high-profile tracks, with highlights arriving via Trey Songz's "Never Again" (2012), Martin Garrix's "Don't Look Down" (2014), Keith Urban's "Wasted Time", Justin Bieber's "Company," and TLC's "Way Back" (2017). In early 2018, Abrahart released the soulful single "Put It to Bed" ahead of the arrival of his solo debut, Vol. 1: Songs from Therapy, which was issued later that year. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
