Melissa James

Sensitive Emotional Soul

“Best current British blues singer I know.” – The words of BBC Radio presenter Tom Robinson who has long given a nod of approval to the work of this singer-songwriter. Melissa James is, however, much more than a blues singer. She is a singer with incredible passion for her cause which, she sees, is to use her voice and her music to form connections with others. Her music blends folk, gospel, jazz – and life tales – but never without a large helping of the soul which stretches deep beyond her years.

“James takes all of her musical loves – jazz, blues, soul, folk and wraps them up into songs that achieve an astonishing array of moods and emotions”  – Jazzwise

“Melissa’s vocals are sensitive, soulful and emotional.. .” – Maverick
