James Hersey has amassed hundreds of millions of streams worldwide, led by his self-penned hit single "Miss You" at over 140M, certified Gold in Italy and Canada. Hersey's 2014 rooftop video of his song “Coming Over” was the launch point of his international career, from which dance heavyweights filous, Kygo and Dillion Francis reworked worldwide smash-hits.
James has shared the first full length album of his career, Fiction, out now via Glassnote Records. The album is an exploration of the stages of love and features his three singles from this year “Souvenir” , “Forget (About Everyone Else)”, and “Closer”. The singles have slightly different themes, but they ultimately string together different parts of being in love. Hersey wants you to escape with him as he flexes a knack for writing rich melodies alongside ear candy production, which in total invites listeners to enjoy a bit of levity.
2017’s Pages EP rapidly made him an online sensation, gaining support from the likes of Radio 1’s Annie Mac, Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, as well as Mistajam, Adele Roberts, Cel Spellman, and Maz Tappuni (Communion). In 2019, his exceptional eight-track mini-album Innerverse accrued over 30M streams.
Along the way, Hersey has received accolades from tastemaker publications including The Telegraph, Wonderland, The Line Of Best Fit, CLASH, DIY, Idolator, EARMILK, Red Bull, and tmrw Mag.
