dba James
With a knack for extracting disarmingly specific imagery, dba James brings the perversely unremarkable to life. Maximalist pop tendencies are fat-washed for melody, sung over caricatured production with lyrics lined in wit and sarcasm. James has quickly established himself as the leader of the post-covid NYC renaissance with a series of sold-out residencies at legendary nightclub Heaven Can Wait in anticipation for his debut EP. Formerly the front man of the national touring act Bay Faction, dba James has been tipped by Rolling Stone, NYLON, Paste Magazine, and Alternative Press as a “rising artist you need to know right now”.
