Jvck James was born and raised in East London, growing into his musical personality by looking toward '90s R&B stars such as D'Angelo. He began uploading his songs online as early as 2015, and over the next several years, his fame grew with a series of successful tracks. James worked with high-profile producers such as Dre Skull and Scribz Riley on his songs, producing the million-plus streaming single "Extroverted Lovers" in 2017 and following it the next year with "On My Way." In addition to releasing singles, James honed his live show and in 2019 issued the Detour EP, featuring four new songs and an interlude. 2021 saw the release of the soul- and hip-hop-infused single "No Drama," which appeared alongside five other tracks on the EP Joyride. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi
