Portuguese-American Singer-Songwriter & Producer, Stephen James (born Stephen James Baumann), first picked up the Guitar at age 15, unknowingly headed for a long and winding career as an Artist. As a Songwriter first and foremost, his life-experiences over the years of navigating the arch of manhood, brotherhood, relationships, travel, love, loss, and, of course, a whole lotta fun, have inspired many poignant, passionate, poetic, positive, and powerful lyrics and melodies. Songs he intends to share with the world through his own voice, as well as through the voices of other respected Artists, in the hopes to inspire us all to dance, dine, and dare to dive head first into our hearts greatest desires. Open minded and relentlessly curious, his musical styles constantly meet and make love, evidently giving birth to other unique styles with no other intention than to keep music moving onward and upward, ever-evolving in this great cosmic dance. A fan of Alt-Rock & RnB, Folk & Deep House, Kick drums and Moog Bass, Stephen James only has eyes and ears for the next great life adventure that will nonetheless inspire the next great work of Art.
