Shawn James was born July 8th, 1971 in Poplar Bluff Missouri. He just signed his recording deal in March 2012 with Lluks Productions, LLC. Shawn has been playing and singing on and off for 30 years with a very unique style. Shawn plays and always performs with an Alvarez 12 String guitar. His first single "She's my Everything" is in Copyright now. Expecting full rights and ready for release of his first Single on his Birthday 2012. Mr. James has a very diverse range in his vocals and makes his guitar talk to you in a rythmatic manner. Shawn James served his Country in the United States Marine Corps and was wounded in action. He says "I bout a 12 string during my recovery and playing it just came natural." Mr. James' Mother, Shirley E. Reflected by saying "He has been playing and singing for the better of 30 years." I asked her if he had ever taken guitar lessons? Her reply "We had it pretty rough as he was growing up, but I bout him his first guitar when he was about 10 years old." She stated "I could only afford about 3 months worth." Shawn James has never had a voice lesson and in my opinion is a self taught guitarist playing a 12 string. During my interview with this gentleman I asked him if he would play a song for me as I had never heard a 12 string guitar. He kindly said "Sure, would you like to hear "She's my Everythin", I wrote it about my fiancé? As I listened to him play and sing tears were rolling down my face. He stops playing and gets me a tissue, asks if I'm okay. We ended with me saying "I can just relate to everything you said". This is a remarkable gentleman. I asked him what got him "Found?" He said "I was donating my time playing for disabled Veterans for free and doesn't know who made what phone calls but is grateful". Tracy K.
