Ian James started off in a little community in the north end of Saskatchewan named St. Margerets. He would always spend time down at the park singing for money, and sometimes sex. Whatever he could get. He now lives in Chatham. People are scared when they know that The James is coming, for the very sight of him can cause cardiac arrest and irritable bowel syndrome. The people of "the Hill" are some the most supporting fans. And, we call them, his James'-junkies.

Ian James works usually as a soloist, playing the acoustic guitar and the harmonica, but he has also dabbled in the electric guitar and the medieval lyre. He is an incredible lyricist, with such memorable lines as, "and I'm never gonna live/by words that were written/by someone/who isnt/me".

Those who have the urge to see him perform will be most likely to find him playing at any of the local high school's public functions.
