Conflict of interest and encyclopedic style
Apart from being a blatant copyvio from the above sources, this article was not written in encyclopedic style. Wikipedia is not the place to post an artist's CV complete with puffery such as "presigious" and devoid of references to independent sources. To all editors of this article, if you have any affiliation whatsoever with James Rutherford or his agents, Askonas Holt Artist Management, please read WP:Conflict of interest and follow the guidelines there scrupulously. Unreferenced claims, PR hype, and listing of "future Plans" will be removed on sight. Save that for his artist's page on his management's website. It is not appropriate here.
