Overview

Jarryd James has been waiting for his time to headline. Two months ago, this quiet achieving Brisbanite released a tune by the name of 'Do You Remember'. Blending ambient beats with progressive R&B, and featuring James's mesmerising vocals, the single jumped straight onto the charts — hitting #22 on iTunes singles and debuting at #44 on ARIA singles.

Triple j's been giving it no shortage of love, either, offering spot play in mid-January and full rotation at the month's end. The languid yet catchy track was co-written with powerhouse, Grammy-winning producer Joel Little, who's worked with the equally bright-young-thing likes of Broods and Lorde.

Having shared stages locally with both Broods and Angus and Julia Stone, James is now heading out for his first-ever headline Australian tour. He'll be appearing in Melbourne at Brunswick's Howler on 3 April, in his home town at Fortitude Valley's Woolly Mammoth on 9 April and in Sydney at the Oxford Art Factory on 10 April.
