James Johnston
When James Johnston released his debut single, ‘RAISED LIKE THAT’ four years ago, he never could have anticipated the whirlwind that followed. Six #1 airplay hits, 123+ million global streams, two Golden Guitars and two Countrytown Awards later, James is easily Australia’s most exciting Country Music artist. The song that started it all has been certified ARIA platinum, making James the first ever Australian independent country artist to achieve this for a single.
But there’s more.
The bloke who grew up near the small town of Wingham in New South Wales and sings of country life with an authenticity that makes a drover cry, a farmer sigh, a young jackaroo spin, a country girl smile and city folk wistful, has made Australian music history with his debut album.
His album RAISED LIKE THAT (The Album) is Australia’s largest debut Country album ever, a body of work featuring 20 extraordinary tracks and a heartfelt celebration of country living. His sound is modern and unique with driving guitars, pounding drums and his gravelly vocal centre stage. He works his boots off.
