Born in England on June 12th 1988, James (J HART) A started out his musical life in a small house in Upminster, Essex. At the Age of four, his interest in the arts became apparent, and his love for music stood out like a soar thumb. His childhood in England was soon inturrupted, however, by the family's sudden move to the states in 1998. At this time music became an output for emotional stress surrounding the move and leaving behind the family he loved. After recording a CD at whipporwill studios in Atlanta, GA in 2000, he fell in love with the setting. He returned to the studio two different times before his father made the purchase of a home based studio, the best decision he ever made. After many unsuccessful attempts at getting off his feet, James stumbled upon producer Travon Potts (Christina Aguilera, Monica, Anastacia, BeBe Winans). His writing took a serious turn since learning under the influence of Travon, who wrote gospel tracks for the likes of Trin-i-tee 5:7. After finding Jesus Christ, Jay has added inspirational/ gospel music production to his Repertoire. In 2008 after interning for Polow da Don for 8 months, James set out to take everything he had learned and put it to good use. He wrote and produced a song for Mya that became a lead single, a number one ringtone, and swiftly landed at 4 on Itunes in Japan. He then landed a placement as a songwriter on the much anticipated debut album of YouTube starlet Pricsilla Renea, titled "Pretty Girl", Which was released december 2009, and rated as one of the best cuts on the album. James' talents and ambition have positioned him to work around some of the greats of the music industry, including Tionne "Tboz" Watkins of TLC, Polow da Don, Rodney Jerkins, Keri Hilson, Mya, Warren "Oak" Felder, "Cristyle" Johnson, Rock City, Brian Kennedy, Keith Thomas and many others. with mainstream success inevitably on the horizon, and industry respect and recognition becoming a common greeting for J Hart, it is safe to assume that he is a rare threat that will not soon disappear.
