Shawn James

Since his first album Shadows (2012), Shawn James has consistently worked on his artistic path – independently of major labels, but with all the more passion. Songs such as Through the Valley, which achieved cult status through its use in the video game The Last of Us Part II, as well as albums such as The Dark & The Light (2019) and A Place in the Unknown (2022) demonstrate his artistic depth and stylistic versatility.

In 2024, Honor & Vengeance (Deluxe Edition) was released with expanded arrangements and new songs. The singer-songwriter remained productive in 2025: in addition to the EP Live Sessions (released on 8 February), the singles It's Alright, Burn the Witch, Bad Moon Rising, Bad Moon Rising (Acoustic) and The Curse of the Fold were released – releases that underline both his raw energy and his narrative expressiveness. In his own words: ‘If you want to hear an artist who is authentic, genuine and original, then you've come to the right place.’ Shawn James also brings this attitude to the stage – with performances that feel like a journey through musical landscapes and captivate the audience.
