Jill MacDonald (Miss James) was born in Dundee, Scotland 31st August 1992. She is a singer songwriter from the age of 15 played many musical instruments through her childhood but at the age of 16 focused on acoustic guitar after watching a friend perform many times at parties and she was influenced and took on the challenge of teaching herself how to play the instrument. Miss James plays many cover songs but also writes her own material which is very folk based. Jill never played any live performances until she arrived at an open mic session where her friend was hosting the event - Billy Mitchell and convinced her to play a song. After this experience Jill decided to perform a live gig held at The Doghouse, Dundee. She sold over 60 tickets for her first performance leaving her headlining the gig. Miss James went on to play many different venues throughout Scotland. She also supported Them Beatles - The Beatles revival band.

Later Jill decided on her stage name along with the neice and sister of the band member of The View - "Kyle Falconer"... Daisy Falconer, Dawn Falconer and Andrew Campbell all helped Jill come up with her stage name Miss James. In loving memory of her lost father at such a young age going by the name of James.

After playing for 1 year Jill started to play with young girl at the time aged 16 Courtney Stuart also from Miss James's hometown Dundee. Together they had the looks the voices and the power of angels on the stage. They performed many live gigs together also including festival Neurofest, this is a charity to raise money for The Neuroscience Unit at Ninewells Hospital, Dundee! The girls played together for some different events and were very popular in the city of Dundee. They supported the likes of Mass Consensus, The Twist and many others.

Miss James went on vacation to [|Prague] to visit some family for one month after finishing her studies of Music at [|Dundee College] of 2 years. She took her guitar with her on her travels and after playing at many open mic sessions in the Czech Republic she was offered some contracts in bars clubs and some hostel/hotels. Miss James now lives in Prague playing many live performances. Now she also has in her band a young man Richard Lang from Bristol, England! He plays the Cajon drum making Miss James's performances more full and fun.

Miss James was noticed at one of her performances in Belushi's Bar Mosaic House in Prague and was asked to take part in an up coming video game. Miss James wrote the music for the soundtrack and recorded 3 tracks for the video game which is now selling in Germany Czech Republic and soon USA. The video game is called Memonto Mori II

Miss James was asked by very well known band in the UK also from Dundee Scotland - The View to support them whilst they were doing there tour for new album [|Cheeky For A Reason]. Miss James and The View boys played at a Venue in Prague's city centre called [|Lucerna Music Bar]

Miss James was currently approached by [|Nova TV] (Czech's ITV 1) [|'Superstar]' show to take part in the final 100 of the show. Miss James was overwhelmed and went for the experience of the show, but unfortunately as she needs surgery on her tonsils which will be soon Miss James didnt pull through the whole show, Her voice was exhausted.
