Mit seiner stillen, dennoch energiegeladenen Art verzaubert der gebürtige Engländer James Gillespie monatlich 4 Der Sänger und Songwriter wurde in England geboren und wuchs in Schottland auf. Mit seiner stillen und dennoch energiegeladenen Art zieht er jeden Zuhörenden direkt in den Bann. Seine Songs werden monatlich millionenfach gestreamt und P!NK hatte ihn bei zwei ihrer Auftritte bereits als Support dabei. Sein neues Album erscheint im Frühjahr 2022, dessen vorab veröffentlichte Singles „Foolish Love“ und „Money Money“ extrem vielsprechend klingend. Am 03.12.2021 erschien der Song „Money Money“ in einer wunderschönen Akustikversion. Für uns hat er sich unseren „10 Wunderfragen“ gestellt und dabei unter anderem verraten, in welchem Land er am liebsten einmal an der Spitze der Charts stünde oder mit wem er gern einmal die Plätze tauschen würde.
