James Hersey

James Hersey is an independent solo project/band. The 23yr old guitarist writes, produces, and performs soulful songs with unique pop sensibility and vocals. His passion for songwriting is rooted in his desire to capture, preserve, and reproduce aesthetic musical moments. Major influences include hit artists such as John Mayer and Coldplay, as well as lesser-known singers such as Conor O’Brien and Stephin Merritt. James launched his solo project in Vienna, Austria – home to half of his family – in 2010, and rapidly gained support from major alternative outlets (fm4, gotv) as well as mainstream media (puls4, seitenblicke). In Fall 2011 he moved to the US, and is currently producing his first full-length album. James manages all aspects of his project with the help of his brother Maximilian, as well as the support from thousands of fans and friends across the globe.
